If you're looking for a car that's cheaper to insure, start by looking at cars that are favoured by other young drivers. Here we've included the top 20 most popular cars as chosen by our 17-25 year old drivers. We'd recommend that you avoid cars with dark tinted windows, non-standard alloys wheels, engine or bodywork modifications, cars with more than 5 seats, hot hatches or sport editions, convertibles or cabriolets, cars over 20 years old and with engine sizes over 1.4 litres. And remember, buying a cheaper car won’t necessarily lower the cost of your insurance.

If you already have a car in mind, run it through our quick car lookup to see if it’s a good choice to insure for someone your age.
