As a 19 year old that has just passed her driving test, I’m sick and tired of looking for a car that I can afford to run. Even crappy cars that cost £500 are £6000 to insure, PER YEAR! If a car is only worth £500 then why the daylight robbery? I’d have to write it off 12 times a year to justify that price. I’d never really thought about it before but I guess that’s not how it works. Thank God I’m not a boy because that’d have been £8000 easy. Anyways, I was so upset because I didn’t think I’d get to have my own car until I discovered cheap car insurance.
I’d gotten a few quotes from my dad’s insurer, my mum’s insurance company (she works for them) and a couple of big names that I happened to see on TV when I was watching daytime TV at uni. Every time I ended up frustrated so I just stopped bothering. My dad had bought me a Vauxhall Corsa and I couldn’t drive it – great! As a last resort I tried a comparison site and found a handful of cheap car insurance policies so I finally felt I was getting somewhere. The cheap car insurance was still from good providers but not those I’d been looking at.
I was amazed to find that the cheap car insurance available was comprehensive and not third party but still affordable. Considering my age and experience behind the wheel I was shocked. When it comes around for renewal I’ll definitely be doing the same because I can’t afford not to. I thought it was well worth the effort and think a comparison site is the only way to go for me and people like me.
