If you are a young driver then it can prove harder than normal to get
car insurance. The thrill of being able to drive at 70mph at the tender age of 17 or 18 means that the likelihood of running into somebody else is quite high - as a result, the car insurance premiums are liable to be that much higher.
The key is to shop around and not simply take the first offer that comes through online. By spending just a few quick minutes and ensuring you are looking at all the offers that come through you can save yourself hundreds of pounds.
Many car insurance quotes are on the market, looking for new customers and the introductory discounts can be very generous. Because people do tend to stick with their existing car insurance company from year to year, the cost of acquiring a new customer can even eat into the first year's premium just to get the new customer on the books.
Big discounts are currently available at insurance companies such as
AA Car Insurance which offer 15% discount online and
Kwik Fit Car Insurance which offer 20% discount online. There are many more and the prices and discounts do change from week to week and month to month.
The main three elements that determine Car Insurnace Quotes levels are age, gender and claims history. There are numerous others, however, such as the gender of the driver, how far you drive per year, why you need the vehicle and others.
Age
Drivers under 25 tend to be risky. Drivers between 50 and 65 are the safest.
Gender
Women are statistically safer drivers, but that trend is changing as more female drivers get on the road.
