Doing these 10 things could make you car insurance invalid

But your insurer might say your claim is invalid if they find you doing any of these 10 things.

The obvious one is leaving your car unlocked - no brainer. But wearing flip-flops and even having furry dice dangling from the mirror (who still has these?) could stop a potential payout.

Changing jobs might seem like a minor event - but it isn't. Some jobs will be more of a risk than others. It's even worth mentioning a promotion.

Charging friends for lifts could also have an impact - even if it's as part of a carpool scheme.

Even If you take money in exchange for driving people, you risk voiding your insurance. You need a policy in line with a taxi driver for this.

We love our pets but if a dog is roaming around in the car, this also could stop a payout and even risk a fine of up to £2,500

Ways in which your insurance policy could become invalid ...

*Registering your parent's address (or anyone else's)

*Making changes to your car - (even furry dice)

*NOT claiming for accidents

*Driving more than you expected

*Leaving the engine running

*Wearing flip flops or other inappropariate footwear

*Driving with animals roaming about in the car

*Charging your mates for lifts
