Young Drivers Insurance at Headlinehouse

It's not easy to get cheap young drivers insurance in the UK. The under-25s are high risk drivers and their car insurance premium reflects this. What can be done?

Well, thankfully, quite a lot can be done to reduce the cost of young drivers insurance and it begins with the choice of car. Get a car insurance group one car and you will save hundreds, even thousands, over the years as you build up a no claims discount.

There are some acceptable cars in this group, for example a Corsa, that are perfectly adequate first time cars in most cases and have the advantage of saving you money on fuel and maintenence costs too.

In terms of policy inteventions, there's a lot you can do for cheaper young drivers insurance. You can increase the excess; select a highly pragmatic, 'no frills', type policy; add an over-25 year old as a second driver; cap your annual mileage; improve your car security, including off-road overnight storage where possible; even opt for third party cover only.

The latter, however, carries certain risks relating to lack of cover for personal injury or injury to a passenger where you were at fault for the accident and, because of this, we do not recommend it for young drivers insurance.

The other caveat is that you shouldn't overdo these approaches as you could end up with an excessively paired down policy that is better avoided as it could cost you dearly in an accident.

How and where you get your young drivers insurance policy also matters, of course. It is a good idea to compare young drivers insurance quotes, for example, via our own price comparison system (below).

We can also suggest using Endsleigh that specialises in providing cheap young drivers insurance cover and is well able to identify an impressive price.

While it's relatively easy to find quotes online, don't rush to purchase the cheapest until you have checked the cover over carefully and are sure it's what you want from your young drivers insurance cover. Better that you pay a little more than that you end up with a policy which you would much rather have avoided in an accident.
