Cheaper Car Insurance for Young Drivers

As a young driver, you might feel like you’re getting a bit of a raw deal. And the stats seem to suggest the same. Our latest Young Driver report revealed that those of you aged 17-24 spend on average £2,299 a year to run a car. And insurance accounts for over half (54%) of that.

While it might seem unfair, this high cost for insurance reflects the increased risk you pose as a new and relatively inexperienced driver. And unfortunately the accident stats do back this up as around a fifth (23%) of 18-24 year olds crash within two years of passing their driving test.

But what can you do about it? Read more details from our report to find out about how you could help to reduce your car insurance premium.

What type of car insurance should I get?

There are a number of different car insurance policies around, but don’t worry, we’ll explain the differences and make it easy for you to pick the policy which suits you best.


Broadly speaking, there are three main types of car insurance: comprehensive, third-party and third party (fire and theft). Comprehensive cover will protect your car as well as other people’s property whereas a third-party policy will only cover damage you may cause to someone else’s property. Third party (fire and theft) provides the same level as standard third party, but will also cover you in case of damage caused by fire or if your car is stolen.


It’s also worth knowing that the typical car insurance policy lasts for 12 months and will need to be renewed each year. Your insurance might automatically renew when it’s about to expire, so remember to come back to comparethemarket.com to get the deal that’s right for you.
