Abi Titmuss is a veritable poster girl for multi-skilling, but just which of her callings would nab the cheapest car insurance deal nurse, model, actress or author? Insurance comparison site Confused.com found out.
Lincolnshire lass Abi Titmuss has dabbled in several careers over the years, and as job title is one of the rating factors that determine how much you pay for car insurance, Confused.com ran a series of quotes to see which profession would secure Abi the cheapest car insurance.
Car Quote Details
Abi has been spotted nipping between red carpet events in a Mini One Convertible, so this was used for quotes. As a top celeb it was assumed that her Mini would have top security to match so boxes were ticked for alarm, immobiliser and tracker.
Miss Titmuss was also given the benefit of the doubt and credited with 5 years no claims bonus, no convictions and no accidents or losses after all, with Abis tabloid track record, wed probably all know if there were any driving skeletons in her closet! Finally, to best match her actual home address, details were entered for a three storey townhouse in Islington, North London.

Note: most expensive quote returned for Nurse was 989.55 over three times as much as the cheapest and for Model the highest quote was 2,032 nearly 1,400 more than the cheapest. Figures highlight both the breadth of price range in the market and the importance of shopping around in order to find a cheap deal.
As Abi is currently plugging her latest book The Secret Diaries, she might want to make a note in her diary to recoup any shortfall in sales by, quite legitimately, stating her job title as Author on her car insurance particularly if shes currently listed as model or actress. However, once Abis penmanship dries up, she would need to update her job title to avoid the possibility of accidentally invalidating her car insurance in the event of a claim.
So when it comes to finding the cheapest car insurance quote based on job title, being a Nurse wins out for Abi Titmuss. But as theres only 2 in it compared with her cheapest quote as Author, she may want to keep tapping away on her word processor before considering a return to emptying bedpans.
