If you’re between the ages of 21 and 25 and have saved up enough for your first car, you’ll inevitably want to keep it safe, on and off the road. However, you’ll probably have found that running and protecting a car can cost a fair amount of money and extract a healthy amount of your income.
With congestion charges and petrol costs adding to the bill; car insurance could be a daunting idea at this stage.
The good news is that young drivers are being guided to invest in car insurance early.
Like the property ladder - the sooner you climb on it, the sooner you’ll be reaping the benefits and hopefully be making some savings on your car insurance premiums.
For the young driver, it may seem appealing to initially be a named driver on a parent’s insurance policy, as the idea of taking an individual one seems, a) too expensive, and b) a scary commitment. Although short term it seems logical, you’ll be missing out on many of the long term benefits.
In simple terms, it works like this: when you start driving (at the legal age of 17) your insurance will be at its most pricey, as your inexperience will suggest you could be more of a high-risk on the road.
Between the ages of 21 and 25, insurance companies presume you’ve got some driving experience under your belt, and the cost of your insurance is reduced significantly. After five years of driving, up to 65 per cent of your initial insurance costs will be lessened.
An advisable step-forward is to browse for car insurance deals online. You’ll be able to compare quotes readily and find out deals that suit you and your car. For affordable car insurance deals, try the Co-operative bank’s website, or perhaps Beat that Quote, for further figures and facts on buying car insurance.
Finding the right company will mean finding the right insurance, which will work towards the reduction in costs as your time on the road grows.
