Here&#8217;s what you need to know about your options for getting cheaper insurance if you&#8217;re aged under 21.<\/p><h3>Why do I need under-21 car insurance?<\/h3><p>It&#8217;s illegal to drive in the UK without car insurance. Car insurance can protect you, your passengers and anyone else involved in an accident.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, from a statistical point of view, young drivers are much more likely to be involved in an accident than other road users. UK figures show that almost a quarter (23%) of 18-24 year olds crash within two years of passing their driving test.<\/p><p>As a new young driver, you&#8217;ll find you&#8217;ll pay more for coverage. This is because countless studies have found that younger drivers have more accidents than other drivers. Drivers under 21 are more likely to take risks and make questionable decisions with their cars.<\/p><p>But car insurance provides cover for much more than just accidental damage. If your car catches fire, is stolen or vandalised, or is damaged by storm, hail, explosion or even earthquake, your policy can help cover the cost of repairs to get you back on the road. Additionally, if using your vehicle results in property or vehicle damage to a third party, your policy can offer legal liability cover to provide the protection you need.<\/p><h3 id=\"cover\">What levels of cover are available?<\/h3><p>There are three levels of car insurance available to drivers:<\/p><ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/third-party-car-insurance\">Third Party Insurance<\/a>.<\/strong> The most basic form of car insurance available and also the minimum legal level of cover required in the UK. Third Party Insurance covers you if you damage someone else&#8217;s property or injure them while driving, and will also cover your passengers too.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/third-party-fire-theft\">Third Party Fire and Theft Insurance<\/a>. <\/strong> This type of policy offers mid-level cover, combining a number of benefits at a lower cost. It includes third-party liability cover when you damage someone else\u2019s vehicle or property in an accident, plus it also covers loss or damage as a result of fire, theft or attempted theft.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/comprehensive-car-insurance\">Comprehensive Insurance<\/a>. <\/strong> Comprehensive car insurance is designed to offer a high level of protection for you and your vehicle against an extensive range of risks. It provides cover for loss of or damage to your vehicle caused by collision, vandalism, theft or attempted theft, fire, hail, storm, flood, explosion and earthquake. This type of policy ensures that your vehicle is repaired or replaced following an insured event. It also includes legal liability cover for if you are ever responsible for damaging someone else\u2019s vehicle or property in an accident.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"howmuch\">How much does under-21 car insurance cost?<\/h3><p>Car insurers calculate premiums based on the likelihood of you one day making a claim. The greater the risk of you making a claim, the higher your premiums will be. Unfortunately, this is bad news for drivers under the age of 21, as they are statistically much more likely to be involved in an accident. Car insurance costs substantially more for drivers under the age of 21 and purchasing cover can be one of the major expenses you need to contend with when you get your first car.<\/p><p>However, there are a number of other factors that also have an impact on the cost of under-21 car insurance, including:<\/p><ul class=\"list-1\"><li><strong>Your driving experience.<\/strong> Generally speaking, the more driving experience you have, the less you will have to pay for cover. Your involvement in any accidents and any past fines and offences will also be taken into account.<\/li><li><strong>Your claims history.<\/strong> Previous car insurance claims will negatively impact the cost of your premiums.<\/li><li><strong>The sum insured.<\/strong> The higher the amount your car is covered for, the more you will have to pay for cover. For example, a late-model luxury car will obviously have higher premiums than a cheap, three-door hatchback.<\/li><li><strong>Where the car is kept.<\/strong> Cars kept locked in a secure garage overnight are less likely to be stolen and therefore cheaper to insure. They\u2019re also less likely to sustain damage than vehicles parked on the street.<\/li><li><strong>Where you live.<\/strong> If you live in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/adress-impact-on-car-insurance-premium\">an area<\/a> with a high crime rate, this could mean you pay higher premiums than someone who lives in a \u201csafer\u201d area. The type of driving you do will also be a factor, such as if you drive on busy city roads in peak hour traffic, or if you only ever take short trips on quiet country roads.<\/li><li><strong>How often you drive.<\/strong> If you cover 30,000 miles each year in all sorts of driving conditions, you\u2019ll pay more for cover than someone who only drives a total of 5,000 miles a year to their local shops and back.<\/li><li><strong>The features you select.<\/strong> Additional features such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/breakdown-cover\/roadside-assistance\">roadside assistance<\/a> will also drive up the cost of cover.<\/li><li><strong>When you pay your premium.<\/strong> Some insurers will charge more for cover if you pay your premium in monthly instalments rather than in an annual lump sum.<\/li><li><strong>The no-claim discount.<\/strong> You may be able to earn a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/no-claims-bonus\">no-claim discount<\/a> for every year you do not make a claim on your policy.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"parentspolicy\">Adding yourself to your parents&#8217; policy<\/h3><p>Considering the cost of under-21 car insurance, it\u2019s definitely worth asking your mum or dad to add you to their policy. If this is an option for you (ie, if you share a car with your parents and they\u2019re happy to include you in their cover) you could ask your parents to add you as a nominated driver to their car insurance policy.<\/p><p>While this will cause their premiums to rise, the added cost could be cheaper than if you were to take out a separate policy for yourself. Even if your parents ask you to chip in to help cover premiums, you\u2019ll still save money.<\/p><p>If you choose this option, be mindful that your mum or dad would still need to be the main driver of the policy and use the car proportionately more than you. Adding you as a nominated driver when you actually use the car more than your parents is considered &#8220;fronting&#8221; and is illegal. If you&#8217;re found out, your insurance could become invalidated and you may face other consequences.<\/p><h3 id=\"compare\">How to compare under-21 car insurance policies<\/h3><p>If you\u2019re looking for an under-21 car insurance policy, it\u2019s vital to compare your options to find the policy that\u2019s right for you. Factors to consider when weighing up your options include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>The cost.<\/strong> Cost is obviously going to be an important factor for anyone purchasing a policy, so obtain quotes from a number of different insurers to see which is cheapest. However, remember to look beyond the final figure to the benefits and limits of each policy to ensure you\u2019re getting value for money.<\/li><li><strong>What\u2019s covered.<\/strong> Read the policy carefully to find out exactly when you are covered and what you are covered for. Does the policy offer new-for-old replacement if your vehicle is a write off? What about cover for emergency repairs, transport and accommodation? Can you choose your own repairer and is there a lifetime guarantee on repairs? Can you cover your car to the agreed value, its market value or either option?<\/li><li><strong>What\u2019s not covered.<\/strong> Next, check the exceptions and conditions that apply to the policy to see if one policy offers a higher level of protection than the competition. Also, check the list of general exclusions so you know when and why the insurer will refuse a claim.<\/li><li><strong>The excess.<\/strong> How much will you need to pay in the form of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/car-insurance-excess\">excess<\/a> when claiming? As well as a basic excess, will an additional excess be charged because you are a young driver? It\u2019s also worth checking to see whether you can adjust your excess in exchange for a higher or lower premium.<\/li><li><strong>Additional options.<\/strong> Check to see what additional options you can include in your cover. For example, can you add extra cover for windscreens or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/breakdown-cover\/immediate-roadside-assistance\">immediate roadside assistance<\/a>?<\/li><li><strong>Claims process.<\/strong> Remember to investigate the claims-handling process of each insurer. Check out what you need to do to make a claim, how and during which hours you can contact the claims team and how quickly claims are processed.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"did-you-know u-bg--sky-subtle u-rounded--lg\" data-component=\"did-you-know\">\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__block\">\n        <h4 class=\"did-you-know__title\">\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-icon\">\n                <svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <circle cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"12\" fill=\"#00B2FF\"\/>\n                    <path d=\"M17.5 22.5C17.5 22.7967 17.412 23.0867 17.2472 23.3334C17.0824 23.58 16.8481 23.7723 16.574 23.8858C16.2999 23.9993 15.9983 24.0291 15.7074 23.9712C15.4164 23.9133 15.1491 23.7704 14.9393 23.5607C14.7296 23.3509 14.5867 23.0836 14.5288 22.7926C14.471 22.5017 14.5007 22.2001 14.6142 21.926C14.7277 21.6519 14.92 21.4176 15.1667 21.2528C15.4133 21.088 15.7033 21 16 21C16.3978 21 16.7794 21.158 17.0607 21.4393C17.342 21.7206 17.5 22.1022 17.5 22.5ZM16 9C13.2425 9 11 11.0188 11 13.5V14C11 14.2652 11.1054 14.5196 11.2929 14.7071C11.4804 14.8946 11.7348 15 12 15C12.2652 15 12.5196 14.8946 12.7071 14.7071C12.8946 14.5196 13 14.2652 13 14V13.5C13 12.125 14.3463 11 16 11C17.6538 11 19 12.125 19 13.5C19 14.875 17.6538 16 16 16C15.7348 16 15.4804 16.1054 15.2929 16.2929C15.1054 16.4804 15 16.7348 15 17V18C15 18.2652 15.1054 18.5196 15.2929 18.7071C15.4804 18.8946 15.7348 19 16 19C16.2652 19 16.5196 18.8946 16.7071 18.7071C16.8946 18.5196 17 18.2652 17 18V17.91C19.28 17.4913 21 15.6725 21 13.5C21 11.0188 18.7575 9 16 9ZM29 16C29 18.5712 28.2376 21.0846 26.8091 23.2224C25.3807 25.3603 23.3503 27.0265 20.9749 28.0104C18.5995 28.9944 15.9856 29.2518 13.4638 28.7502C10.9421 28.2486 8.6257 27.0105 6.80762 25.1924C4.98953 23.3743 3.75141 21.0579 3.2498 18.5362C2.74819 16.0144 3.00563 13.4006 3.98957 11.0251C4.97351 8.64968 6.63975 6.61935 8.77759 5.1909C10.9154 3.76244 13.4288 3 16 3C19.4467 3.00364 22.7512 4.37445 25.1884 6.81163C27.6256 9.24882 28.9964 12.5533 29 16ZM27 16C27 13.8244 26.3549 11.6977 25.1462 9.88873C23.9375 8.07979 22.2195 6.66989 20.2095 5.83733C18.1995 5.00476 15.9878 4.78692 13.854 5.21136C11.7202 5.6358 9.76021 6.68345 8.22183 8.22183C6.68345 9.7602 5.63581 11.7202 5.21137 13.854C4.78693 15.9878 5.00477 18.1995 5.83733 20.2095C6.66989 22.2195 8.07979 23.9375 9.88873 25.1462C11.6977 26.3549 13.8244 27 16 27C18.9164 26.9967 21.7123 25.8367 23.7745 23.7745C25.8367 21.7123 26.9967 18.9164 27 16Z\" fill=\"#232320\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-text\">Must read<\/span>\n        <\/h4>\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__content\">\n            <p><strong>Choosing a policy<\/strong><\/p><p>After finding several policies that suit you, it&#8217;s time to compare prices by getting quotes.

However, there are several things you can do to reduce the cost of your premium, including:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Complete an advanced driving course.<\/strong> Some insurers will offer discounted premiums to young drivers who complete a course in advanced driving skills and road safety, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/young-drivers\/pass-plus-scheme\">Pass Plus scheme.<\/a><\/li><li><strong>Consider a telematics policy.<\/strong> If you&#8217;re a safe and careful driver, having a black box device fitted to your car could mean lower premiums. The device will monitor your driving and braking habits and calculate future premiums based on your results. Just remember that premiums can go up as well as down.<\/li><li><strong>Choose only the cover you need.<\/strong> Minimising the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/car-insurance-optional-extras\">extra features<\/a> you add to your policy will keep costs down.<\/li><li><strong>Choose a higher excess.<\/strong> Most insurers should allow you to choose the excess amount that you must pay when you make a claim. A higher excess will result in cheaper premiums. However, due to your age, you may have a compulsory excess added to your policy, which would be non negotiable.<\/li><li><strong>Protect your car.<\/strong> Vehicles fitted with safety features like traction control and anti-theft devices are usually cheaper to insure than cars that don\u2019t have these features. Cars kept in locked garages are also cheaper to cover than those parked on the street.<\/li><li><strong>Maintain a clean driving record.<\/strong> Because insurers consider your driving history when calculating your premiums, being a \u201cgood\u201d driver and avoiding speeding fines and other offences will help keep the cost of cover down.<\/li><li><strong>Pay annually.<\/strong> Some insurers charge higher premiums if you pay for cover monthly rather than annually.<\/li><li><strong>Buy online.<\/strong> Many insurers offer premium discounts if you purchase your policy online rather than over the phone.<\/li><li><strong>Take advantage of discounts.<\/strong> You may be able to take advantage of discounts offered by your insurer, for example, if you insure more than one vehicle or if you have other types of insurance with the same company.<\/li><li><strong>Compare policies.<\/strong> This is the easiest way to save money on under-21 car insurance. By comparing the benefits, features and conditions of a range of different policies, you could save yourself hundreds of pounds. Start comparing insurers and policies at finder.com\/uk today.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"avoid\">Traps to avoid with under-21 car insurance<\/h3><p>There are a few issues to be aware of when purchasing under-21 car insurance. Common traps include:<\/p><ul class=\"list-3\"><li><strong>Not comparing your options.<\/strong> It\u2019s vital to compare multiple under-25 car insurance policies before you purchase cover. Not only will this help you find affordable cover, but it will also help you choose a policy that matches your needs.<\/li><li><strong>Paying monthly.<\/strong> Many insurers will charge you extra if you decide to pay your premium in monthly instalments. If this is the case, either pay annually or find an insurer that doesn\u2019t charge extra for paying monthly.<\/li><li><strong>Ignoring the excess.<\/strong> If a car insurance quote seems too good to be true, it most likely is. A cheap policy may save you money on premiums but then hit you with a huge excess when you make a claim.<\/li><li><strong>Fronting.<\/strong> To avoid the high premiums imposed on young drivers, some people will falsely list a parent or other older person as the main driver. This is called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/car-insurance-fronting\">fronting<\/a>&#8220;. It\u2019s illegal and could lead to your claim being refused.<\/li><li><strong>Not reviewing your policy.<\/strong> While it\u2019s easy to simply renew your cover with the same insurer when the time comes each year, shopping around can save you a whole lot of money. Car insurers often don\u2019t reward their customers for loyalty, so regularly review the cover offered by your current insurer and obtain quotes to see if you might be able to find a better deal elsewhere.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"tips\">Tips for saving money when adding a teenager to a car insurance policy<\/h3><p>If you&#8217;re thinking of helping your teenager out by adding them to your own car insurance policy, there are a few tips to keep in mind that might save you money.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Consider black box insurance or telematics insurance.<\/strong> Having a special device fitted to your car that monitors your driving habits is all about getting a personal driving record for insurers to set your premiums by, rather than being lumped into a group price because of your age, location or other factors. And as it works for multiple drivers, you may be able to get significantly lower premiums than you would otherwise.<\/li><li><strong>Consider making yourself the named driver.<\/strong> While some insurers might refuse to add your high-risk teenager to your policy, think instead about your teenager taking out a policy themselves and you being added as a named driver on that. Doing so could bring down the premium.<\/li><li><strong>Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/pay-as-you-go-car-insurance\">pay-as-you-go car insurance<\/a>.<\/strong> If your teenager is studying away from home, chances are they&#8217;ll only want to drive your car during holidays so consider adding them to your policy on a short-term basis rather than all the time.<\/li><li><strong>Shop around.<\/strong> Find the best quotes by shopping around on the comparison sites but remember to compare the policy details and cover offered rather than just the price.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"bottomline\">Bottom line<\/h3><p>While finding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\">car insurance<\/a> as a young driver can be difficult, it\u2019s still possible to find an affordable policy that meets all your coverage needs.
