Car Insurance |

We have seen in the previous pages ample evidence that
young drivers represent an enormous risk to car insurance companies
because their accident rate, for various reasons, tends to be far higher
than those for other age groups. As a result it can prove very difficult
for youngsters who are driving soon after passing their driving tests to
get proper car insurance cover for anything other than premiums which seem
absolutely extortionate. The fact is however that insurers have to work
with statistical figures and so every youngster has to be looked upon as
being just as likely to have a smash as any other. If you are in this
position and your insurance quote looks absolutely crippling there are a
few things that you can do to bring it down, however, and some of them can
reduce your premiums very substantially. If you still cannot afford your
car insurance premiums you may be able to pay monthly; you can get

The first thing to do is to avoid the very understandable urge to buy a
flashy fast set of wheels! The bigger the engine, the more the power, the
higher the insurance quotes will be and you will get far better value if
you have a car with a small engine which could be replaced if necessary at
little cost. This is of course not as easy to do in practice as it is in
theory; since small cars are so economical to run compared with large ones
they tend to be more expensive to buy second-hand but when you work out
the fact that they will not only save you a small fortune in insurance
premiums but there will also cost far less to fill up with petrol as well
has cost far less for servicing, new tyres and brakes, etc etc. If you are
buying a car from new it is a no-brainer; a small cheap runabout is far
and away the best option. |
