How many young drivers completely underestimate the cost of insuring their first car?
The answer is – the vast majority.
The average young driver policy now costs just under £1,000 per year. This is almost a massive three times higher than the average UK private car driver of £365. In line with this the excess payable on any claim is also significantly higher.
If the young driver gets through with no claims during the first year or so, whilst driving on their own policy, the financial benefits are quite dramatic. The No Claims Bonus earned will reduce the premiums and could be worth in excess of £500.
Obviously the lack of experience is a big factor on determining these prices. Thankfully, it is mainly minor damage that is the consequence of this lack of experience and this is where we, at Bumps & Scuffs, can help.
