Confused.com, promulgators of those adverts you just can\u2019t seem to get out of your head, have lately commissioned research into which cars are cheapest to insure for young drivers \u2013 young, in this case, being 17-20 year-olds.<\/p>\n
The results reveal that the Ford Ka2 is ahead of the pack, while the Peugeot 107 was a close second. The worst car to insure for young drivers, incidentally, is one of the most popular \u2013 the ear-busting Honda Civic. Whoever knew that Type R stood for rip-off?<\/p>\n
The cost of motor insurance for young drivers rocketed in the second quarter of 2011, with17-20 year olds forking out as much as four times the average to insure their vehicles. Perhaps this research has come at just the right time \u2013 according to the Confused.com price index, comprehensive car insurance for this age band is a whopping \u00a34,006 per annum.<\/p>\n
Confused.com\u2019s research has helpfully highlighted the five cheapest and five most expensive cars to insure, with the aim of educating young drivers as to the potential costs linked to buying their desired roadsters. But perhaps Ford Ka2s and Peugeot 107 simply aren\u2019t cool enough, despite their low maintenance costs.<\/p>\n
The research also showed that 50% of under-25s could save as much as \u00a3594 on their premiums by using Confused.com. This dovetails with Consumer Intelligence data, calibrated in July of this year, that indicated 55% of policy-holders could save up to \u00a3200 by switching.<\/p>\n
The price comparison giant continues to generate a million quotes per month, and if Ford Kas don\u2019t float your boat, it could be worth checking into Confused.com to find the cheapest \u2018cool\u2019 option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Confused.com, promulgators of those adverts you just can\u2019t seem to…","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":351,"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350\/revisions\/351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.tomperkins.fi\/mymoneydeals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
