The type of car you drive can vary the price of your insurance massively. A brand new, off the ramp, flashy sports car is going to be more expensive to insure than a little run around that’s seen better days but gets you from A to B.
It’s tempting, but don’t pick the car all your mates have or the one you’ve seen everyone your age driving. If they’re the cars that are popular with 18 year olds, and the insurers are seeing high crash rates from those cars, it spells out risk.
Research lots of different makes and models before you buy and look at cars in lower insurance groups. They’ll be cheaper to insure – they’re also likely to have low vehicle tax and could even be exempt.
It’s important to remember that the cheapest car insurance quote for 18 year olds may not necessarily be the best, so you need to make sure you completely know what cover you’re getting and you’re aware of any restrictions the policy may have.
You don’t want to sign up to something that looks like a bargain, then realise after you can’t drive after 10pm or go over 5,000 miles – 2 things ingenie doesn’t do.
