personal finance-part 2




Daniel is trying to arrange car insurance on the telephone.


Woman: And will you be wanting comprehensive cover?


Daniel: Well, it's a brand-new car.


Woman: OK, with full cover. If the car is stolen within the first year or if it's a complete write-off, we'll replace it with a new car of the same make.


Daniel: Right.


Woman: Maybe, you'd like to fill out a proposal form online. If that's acceptable, we'll issue you with a cover note.


Daniel: And the premium?


Woman: OK. A high voluntary excess will bring the premium down. And then it depends on how many people will be driving the car.


Daniel: I see.


Woman: You can get a quote online if you want one quickly.


Daniel: Great! I'll do that.


Explanations:

will you be wanting...- the woman's choice of the future continuous makes the question sound more polite.
comprehensive insurance or cover- means full cover of the liability for injuring other people or damaging property when driving
write-off (verb and noun)-to damage a vehicle so badly that it cannot be repaired:
His car was completely written-off in the accident.
a cover note- a document that proves you have car insurance
voluntary excess- is the amount of money you pay yourself when you make a claim for loss, damage, injury, theft etc
quote-here- the amount of money a product or service will cost
