Car insurance tips for young drivers
As a young driver, you can be penalised for your age and inexperience. But there are ways to minimise the impact if you’re looking for cheap car insurance for young drivers:
- It can be tempting to pick the cheapest and most basic young driver car insurance option - usually Third Party, Fire and Theft. However, sometimes this might not work out in your favour as you could end up having to pay for the damage to your own car yourself
- One way to make sure you get lower premiums as a young driver is to be careful in your choice of car. If you pick something sporty, you can expect to pay more – sometimes a lot more. Stick with smaller-engined cars, like a 1.1 or a 1.2 litre, and you’ll be much better off
- Increase your voluntary excess
With its wide range of extensive benefits, Zurich Connect could be the right choice for you. You get:
- A complimentary courtesy car as standard while your car is being repaired by one of our approved repairers after an accident
