Most car insurance companies operate in the red (incur losses), so they charge premiums to bridge their risk. Statistically speaking, certain demographics of drivers (e.g. younger ones) are more risky to insure than others. If they charged low fees on these type of drivers their losses would be massively inflated.

Also check different engine sizes for the same car if you're not too fussed. For my first car the 1.4 and 1.6 versions of the car were cheaper to insure than the 1.2. I guess more people buy the 1.2 as a first car as they assume the insurance is cheaper then they get written off or stolen more

6:11 I would have agreed with that back in the day, back when your renewals got lower providing you had no claims rather than how it is now (they stay the same or go up). I think they just make a figure up these days and hope they'll roll with it.

One of the biggest scams in this country is the car insurance companies. The majority of my bad headaches are from insurance companies

I added a dashcam, ghost immobiliser and a tracker to the car only to be told by the insurance company the premium comes down by £3!! Seems adding extra security or safety options doesnt seems to make a difference either. Also reachdd out to different insurers for a quote and was not worth the move for the little change it made.

not a bad video bro, keep it up bro ❤

Only reason I want insurance is so police dont steal my car & i dont get points and a fine. Couldn't care less about them paying out and covering accidents.

Postcode must play a huge part as I've just been insured as the main policy holder on a 2020 fiesta for £1.2k with a blackbox the day I passed my test at 17. I did already have learner insurance with a blackbox on the same car so maybe that made a difference. Either way I would recommend marmalade.

Very helpful. Great Video

Keep up the cool vids

My movement from them matching a better quoted elsewhere was 20 quid lol

Great video and magnificently insight full, tbh they should scrap no claims bonuses they should just send you a check back.

Tracker not always a wanted thing by insurance. When quoting on my new golf r, adding a tracker added to the policy.

I have lied on every year of my insurance and i have even made 3 claims and been paid out everytime, i have said im a nurse, i have said i only do 1000 miles per year, iv said i park my car on a 'secure carpark' during the day, iv never declared mods 😂 i think next year i am going to tell them im trans, maybe then ill get some more discounts 😂 woooo

there are many ways for saving on car insurance: in addition to some of the things you mentioned, new drivers can take a pass plus course and save 20-40% - taking an advance motoring course can also help, having a 2nd driver with experience also works plus a female additional driver. Shopping around in advance, I stick to one of only 2 insurance companies though (this year had only 1 choice as my F Pace is hard to insure now due to keyless car thefts) (went up by 49.4%)

It's crazy out there huh. Here in zambia they only care about how much your car is worth, age makes no difference, as long as you have a license you are good. And every year your car insurance goes down by 10% if you don't claim in that year.

Also, if there was no claim but because I did 6k miles, would my next insurance be expensive?

At this point i dont evem care if i get a payout, the way the UK is going i drive a £1000 car thats 4k to insure, i literally only need the legality side of insurance, seriously dont care about the INSURANCE part of it.

Having worked in insurance up until recently. i can say that cookie's has absolutely nothing to do with the rate of an insurance policy, thats a complete myth. Simple trick, get quotes early, you can get a quote up to a month before your renewal. This will save you money. You dont need to decare a dashcam, however if its visable and gets stolen the insurer may not cover it. The road vs drive way isnt correct at all, however may depend on insurer. The named driver being a female being cheaper isnt correct, infact insurers arent allowed to by law rate differently based on gender. If your saving money having a named driver its because of experience and them being on the policy lowers the risk.

£1400 in 2016 as a 17 year old on a Polo 1.4. Its mental how 8 years later im paying similar still... (arguably faster car but should be less).

30 years old, 6 years NCB, 1.2 Corsa from 2011. Lorry driver based in Tamworth. Last year i paid around 600£ at Churchill. My renewal it’s in 2 months, hopefully i will get the same price if not less. Never lied about my insurances, my first car in UK was at 24 and was 1600£ for a 2.0 Peugeot 407. Honestly i’m thinking that insurance companies should be more regulated by the government, also they need to do something about car thefts. You can’t just don’t solve any cases and rely on the insurers. Impossible for a young commuter to pay half yearly minimum wage just on insurance. No wonder why people don’t have insurance, staying on benefits or stole cars. Doesn’t make sense to work 6 months just to pay the insurance to guess what? Go to work…

For non everyday cars Custodian Insurance has been amazing.

My first car was 07 plate 1.7 litre (I think) 100bhp Astra cost me £1700 3 months was on provisional after a year I changed my car to 1 litre 75bhp 13 plate polo and my insurance shot up to £2500 for the year😂

Just watch out if you plan to park your car in a garage. For me case it will be cheaper to leave the car on the driveway than in the garage. If I am to put it in a double garage it will cost me £150 to £200 more! Ridicouos but apparently people are often crashing the car and claiming on their insurance.

insurance in this country is just extortion. as a young driver you have to have it and it’s very expensive. God forbid something happens and you have to claim, the money that the insurance company pays will have to be paid back to them when they raise your new quote after the claim even if it wasn’t your fault. it’s ridiculous how young people are supposed to afford it.

Some great tips here. You need to play about with everything. Couple of points tho. The excess is worth playing about with also. The difference on my policy this year with a £500 excess and £0 was £12. 🤷🏼‍♂️ No point in offering up money you don’t need to give them. Also parked in a garage isn’t always the cheapest either due to people claiming for damage while going in/out of the garage. Get a quote with all options and pick the lowest. You can also play about with your employment a bit. For example it was cheaper for me to say I was a Bakery assistant than to say I was a Baker 🤷🏼‍♂️😂😂 Last year I paid £136 for my M3 with all mods declared 😏
