Tips on how to help keep your new driver car insurance premiums low.

 

Your age, the level of car crime in your area, no car security system, on-street parking overnight or your car’s performance and specification could all affect what new driver insurance premiums you pay. When getting motor insurance for the first time there are a few steps you can take to help towards bringing your premium down.

• Park your car in a garage overnight
• Purchase a vehicle with a smaller engine or lower specification
• Invest in a car security system
• Build up your no claims bonus by taking out a car insurance policy in your own right (not third party on a parent’s insurance) and drive sensibly
• Avoid making modifications to your car which will bump up your premiums
• Pay monthly by direct debit to spread the cost of the total annual payment (with some companies you end up paying more overall)
• Don’t be tempted to artificially inflate the value of your vehicle when asked as it will push up your quote
• Check to see if an insurer offers Pass Plus discounts

Getting cheaper car insurance discount after completing ‘Pass Plus’.

Pass Plus is an established training course aimed at new drivers. It was designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA). Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident in the first two years after passing their test. This is because of their lack of driving experience, so Pass Plus is designed to build on your skills and knowledge. Pass Plus will teach you how to anticipate, plan for and deal with all kinds of hazards including driving at night, driving in wet conditions, on motorways, on rural roads and more, to help you become a more confident driver.

When you have successfully completed your Pass Plus training course, you'll be sent a Pass Plus certificate from the Driving Standards Agency (DSA). You’ll be able to use this certificate to claim your motor insurance discount. If you do not have a car at the moment, you may be able to defer the discount for up to two years (check with your motor insurance provider).

When you search online for a new driver insurance quote, you need to check that a Pass Plus discount is available to you.
