Why is insurance more expensive for teenagers?
It's hard for young drivers. Whether you’re still learning to drive or just passed your test, finding cheap car insurance for teens can be challenging. Until you have a bit more experience under your belt, you’re considered a higher risk driver.
Statistically, this is true – unfortunately this age group does have more accidents. Luckily, 4 Young Drivers has access to a wide range of insurers willing to look at teen drivers as individuals rather than a statistic, so we can find the cheapest insurance policy in a fraction of the time it would take you to trawl the internet yourself.
Tips for a lower premium
Improve your driving skills with Pass Plus
If you’ve recently passed your test, you can take part in the PassPlus scheme. PassPlus is a practical training course aimed at helping newly qualified drivers develop their driving skills and drive more safely.
Insurers recognise that teenage drivers who complete PassPlus are committed to driving responsibly and this may help you to get a discount.
Your car
Any car which poses a lower risk of an accident or less of a temptation to thieves will be cheaper to insure. So choose a car with a good safety rating (newer cars have better ratings, if you can afford one), a smaller engine and good environmental credentials. Avoid fast, sporty cars, cars that are expensive to repair, and cars that are often targeted by thieves.
