From London to Mongolia with Hoot Car Insurance Services

Hoot Car Insurance Services, the cheap young driver car insurance specialists, are proud to reveal their support of a fantastic adventure.

Always keen to encourage the daring and never one to shy away from supporting a bit of good old fashioned British spirit, Hoot are backing Jake and Dave, two twentysomething lads, as they drive a rusty old VW Polo all the way from London to the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar.

This 10,000-mile, four-week trip will take in a whole host of countries as the boys head down to Eastern Europe, tackle Russia and a number of bleak former Soviet states before chugging their way into the wilderness of Mongolia.

They'll be driving along roads that are little more than dirt tracks, they'll be having to negotiate their way past less than honest police and they'll be sleeping under the stars amongst the bears and the scorpions.

If that isn't enough, they'll be doing the whole thing in a 14-year-old German car that cost £100 and failed numerous MOTs before finally scraping through and being passed as roadworthy.

It might seem a bit of strange way to spend the summer but these two intrepid souls are doing the whole thing not only to see the world but also to raise a lot of money for charity.

They're aiming to net well over a thousand pounds for the coffers of the Christina Noble Children's Foundation and Mercy Corps, two fantastic charities that make a real difference to the lives of some very needy people.

With the support of Hoot Car Insurance, you'll be able to follow Jake and Dave's adventures here on the Hoot website, keeping tabs as they throw themselves into the unknown, all in the aid of charity and adventure.

So, keep checking back to see how far they've got and why not get a quote and bag yourself some unbelievably cheap car insurance while you're at it.
