Car Insurance

Research* from Direct Line has revealed that fed up UK motorists want to see fines of around £900 for those caught driving uninsured. This is over four times more than the current fine of £200** and 18 times more than the new proposed fine of £50.

The average annual cost of owning and running a new car has jumped by 6.3% in the last 12 months, according to RAC’s annual Cost of Motoring (CoM) Index¹. The £346 increase, which is twice the rate of inflation², takes average costs up to £5,869 from £5,523 in 2009. This equates to £112.87 per week or 48.91p per mile.

Teenagers need auto insurance just as adults do. If you have a teen driver in your household, you should obtain multiple quotes to be sure of getting the best price. Car coverage for teenagers is often more costly than for seasoned drivers, but the premiums don't have to break the bank.
