Is temporary insurance for new drivers expensive?

Unfortunately, new drivers will find that all car insurance is more expensive including temporary insurance. Because driving experience is one of the most important factors when calculating the cost of insurance, new and young drivers will always pay more.

The unfortunate reality is that new drivers and young drivers are more likely to be involved in an incident and therefore make a claim. That’s why they’re charged more by comparison.

Although it can be difficult to get cheap insurance as a new driver, temporary car insurance can be a great way to cut costs and get value for money from your insurance.

As you only pay for cover when you need it, you don’t have the big expense of an annual policy. There are no long-term contracts, so if your situation changes, you’re free to change how you insure your car.

How can I get cheaper car insurance as a new driver?

The cost of car insurance depends on a range of factors about you, the vehicle and even where you’re driving. Unfortunately, one of the key factors that insurers consider when calculating the cost is how much driving experience you have.

Most new drivers are also young drivers which means they are inexperienced. This will often result in them having accidents and making claims. Because of this, the cost insurance goes up to cover the increased chances of you making a claim.

While new drivers will almost always pay more, there are several ways to get cheaper car insurance as a first-time driver:

• Get a sensible car. When getting your first car, pick something that’s smaller and less powerful and you could see your insurance costs drop.

• Add another driver. By adding a more experienced driver to the policy, you could find that you’re premiums drop, but make sure to avoid fronting.

• Increase your excess. If you can afford to do so, offer a higher excess upfront to reduce the overall cost. But be aware you will have to pay this in the event of a claim.

• Limit your driving. It’s a fact, if you drive less, you’re less likely to be involved in an accident, so if you are going to be driving less, make sure to tell your insurance provider.

• Pick the right insurance. There are a few different insurance options for new drivers from short term insurance to telematics insurance and even pay as you go insurance. Pick the right one for your situation and save.

One of the most important things to consider when looking for cheap insurance for new drivers is how often you’re going to be driving.

If you’re only planning to drive a few days a month, paying for a whole years’ worth of insurance can be a big waste of money. If this sounds like you, you could save a lot of money with new driver insurance.

It can be the best insurance for new drivers who don’t want long term commitments and need something more flexible and affordable.

What type of new driver insurance do I need?

As a new driver, you need to have car insurance that has at least third-party cover. This is the minimum level required by law and will cover the cost of any damage to a third party, including their car or property.

There are other options for new drivers. You could pick third party, fire and theft, which will cover the above, as well as any damage to your vehicle caused by fire or if the car is stolen.

Finally, the highest level of cover available is fully comprehensive. This protects against the same as the other two types of cover plus it will also cover for medical expenses, repairs, your own property, and sometimes even include a replacement car.

As strange as it may seem, despite offering the highest level of protection, fully comprehensive cover is usually cheaper than even third party insurance.

This is because historically drivers with high risk would choose the lowest level of cover to save money, however as they still made claims, many insurers increased the cost of third party insurance and reduced the cost of fully comprehensive.

When you choose temporary new driver insurance, you’ll get fully comprehensive cover as standard, so you know that even as a new driver, everything is covered.
