Young drivers insurance tips
So, you've got your licence, you've got some wheels, you've got places to go. Now what you really need is a good insurance deal. Young drivers aged 17-21 are the highest risk category for accidents and this is reflected in higher insurance premiums. But there are a number of ways you can reduce your premiums and still get good insurance cover for less.
- Add an older named driver to your policy. Even if your dad or sister only occasionally driver your car, this can still help reduce your premiums.
- Be a safe driver. If you can build up a no-claims history then this will help in the long term.
- Install safety features, such as a Thatcham approved alarm - we offer 0800 294 1705* discount, as long as the device is professionally installed.
- Resist the temptation to modify your car as many insurance companies charge more for modifications.
- Find a secure parking location for your car, such as an off-road position or ideally in a garage.
- Change the excess you are prepared to pay on any claim to reduce the premium.
- Take a Pass Plus course, it builds confidence and experience, and can also get you a cheaper insurance deal.
