Fireman Joe or Actor Joe Confused.com Asks Which Job Gets Im a Celebritys Jungle Joe



Cheeky cockney Joe Swash was well on the way to becoming a fireman before landing the role of Mickey Miller in Eastenders, but as job title is one of the key deciders for how much you pay for car insurance (http://www.confused.com), Confused.com thought it would be fun to see which profession would grab him the cheapest car cover - acting or fire fighting.

Car Insurance Search Details

Confused.com quoted Joe on a Toyota RAV4, a car chosen as the basis for quotes because, like the man himself, it'ss compact, fun, and able to cope with both the streets of Walford and the Oz jungle. Also, to best match Joe'ss actual address, details were entered for a house in Highbury, North London, just a stone'ss throw from the Emirates Stadium, home to his beloved Arsenal football team.

Will Thomas, head of motor insurance (http://www.confused.com) at Confused.com explains the almost 's163;500 price difference: Treading the boards is perceived as a high-risk profession by car insurers, hence the hike in premiums compared to fire fighting. This is largely due to risk association. For example, if an actor gives a celebrity mate a lift then injures them in a crash, imagine the compensation claim if the celeb has to pull out of a job.

Thomas adds, The big discrepancy in prices from insurers for the same job title - nearly 's163;700 for Fireman and almost 's163;1,700 for Actor - highlights the breadth of the market, the importance of shopping around to find the right deal, and how using a price comparison site is the easiest way to search.

So when it comes to cheap car insurance (http://www.confused.com) based on job title, 'sFireman's may beat 'sActor's, but Joe'ss probably not too bothered; after all, when was the last time a fireman got to teach cockney rhyming slang to one of the cast of Star Trek
