Aussie Pensioner Wins Ageism Case Against Irish Car Rental Company

Posted on 28th September 2009 in General

An Australian man has just won a settlement in a landmark age discrimination case against an Irish car rental company after being charged an extra fee for being over the age of 70.

Anthony White tried to hire a car in Ireland 2 years ago when he was in his early seventies and was charged a EUR25 fee. He was also told he would not be able to rent a car on his next visit as he would be over 75.

White took his case to Ireland’s Equality Tribunal who ruled in his favour that the policy amounted to age discrimination. Irish Car Rentals Ltd has since changed the rule and says the decision will now be made on a case-by-case basis involving assessments of age, health, driving record and insurance coverage.

A senior driver surcharge is pretty common with car rental companies – you may have read a previous blog here about it (Too Old to Drive A Rental Car?) Some suppliers charge extra if drivers are over a certain age, others have a maximum age limit for renters and some require additional documentation (like Irish Car Rentals are now doing). The surcharge is applied to cover higher insurance premiums as older drivers as seen as higher risk.

Does this case mean we may see an end to senior driver surcharges? Is it age discrimination to charge older drivers more as they are seen to be a higher risk?

In that case, surely it is also age discrimination to charge someone under 25 a young drivers fee since they too are seen as a higher insurance risk and more likely to have an accident?

In the case of Mr. White, he has been driving for 50 years and felt it was unfair to blanket all older drivers.

I do agree with this and think the company’s new policy is fair – it depends on each individual’s circumstances and not their age. Will other car rental companies follow suit? We’ll have to wait and see.

Final thought – one article I found about this was entitled “Old Man wins age discrimination suit against Irish rental car company” – “Old Man”? Surely that is age discrimination in itself?!

When people buy cars today they are always thinking of ways that they can do up their cars. They are always adding things to their cars that they think will make the cars and trucks look better. But what makes people do this to their cars and trucks? Why would people want to do this? Why spend all this money on extra things for your vehicle when its perfectly fine to begin with and where do we find these car accessories?

Over the years we have seen a growing interest in antique cars. People are searching for older cars so they can restore them. Along with this we have seen the rise of car accessories and the desire for people to take new cars and fancy them up even more than they already are. We have seen this being done on television shows and movies. Today there are several very popular movies that focus primarily on cars and doing them up.

When looking at car accessories people think that these things are limited to just cars and trucks. They never think of adding to other vehicles such as vans and jeeps. There are some manufacturers that create only car accessories for jeeps. But you may wonder what could you possibly add to a jeep. Well people sometimes think only of the exterior of the jeep and not the interior. The interior of the car is just as important as the outside when you are thinking about reselling your vehicle. If the inside of the vehicle is in poor condition then people will not be interested in buying the jeep or car.

To protect the look of your jeep here are some car accessories that you can add:

1. Bug Deflector – Protect your hood from nicks and scratches as well as bugs. This bug deflector can either be hard plastic or a leather material that covers the entire front of the car. Some are of a better quality than others. 2. Chrome Plastic Grills – Enhance the look of the front of your jeep by adding chrome to it. Now you can buy new chrome grills that will give your jeep a great look. 3. Protect Interior – Use a waterproof cover that beads up and even under heavy rain. This waterproof fabric will even protect your interior from the sun and UV rays.

How To Get The Best From Auto Loan Calculators

Posted on 27th September 2009 in General

The way the economic system is now, everyone is looking for a great deal on just about every thing that they buy. If you are looking to buy a car then you can shop around for the best deal and make sure you are getting the best loan rate available by using an auto loan calc. An online auto loan calc (short for auto loan calculator) can help you decide find out how much you can send on your new vehicle.

A loan calculator is a useful tool which can help you decide how much you can afford to pay for a car in advance of visiting the dealership.  Now keep in mind that by using the tool, the figures that you would be receiving back are based on financial, not really credit scores. Indeed once the two are combined, there may be a slight difference. But you will be in a better position to negotiate with the dealer of the bank because you will be better informed.

Once you have decided that it’s time to chance you automobile and get the necessary finance for a new one, then the best place to look first is online. Don’t worry if you are not ready to see if you qualify for a loan. Online loan payment calculators are not loan applications. They are just simple calculators that provide you with information and nothing more. Additionally while you conduct your research online, you will find that there are free versions of an auto loan calc that you can use.

When using a loan calc you will in some cases need to provide some personal details including your name, email and telephone number. To use the calculator you will need to provide the loan amount, the rate of interest and the number of monthly payments to calculate the actual monthly repayments.

Let’s take a look at what some of the advantages are when using this tool. In the first instance, you will know how much you can afford to spend on a car. You will also know roughly what you monthly repayments will be on the car.

As an example if you need to borrow $15,000 for your new car, you can find out how much this would cost each month over 5 years at 8% or 3 years at 9%. So as you can see this is a wonderful tool to allow you to budget for a car that meets your financial requirements. You can adjust the finance amount, the loan terms, or even the interest rate to see the difference in your monthly payments. Additionally, you can use this as a bargaining tool to get the best deal when approaching the dealership.

Finally, once you decide you are going to get a new vehicle, your first step should be to check out what you can afford by using an auto loan calc. Just remember the more time you put into researching auto loans in advance the chances are you will find a great deal in both the car and the loan.
