Buy As Much Insurance As You Can Afford

In today’s economy everyone is looking for ways to save money. Many people look at automobile coverage as a necessary evil. The state requires you to carry it but it can seem as if you are getting nothing in return. The tendency may be to look for cheap car insurance and pay as little as possible for it. The reality is you may want to be buying more coverage rather than less.

Chances are you will be involved in an accident. It does not matter how good of a driver you are because there are many others on the road who are not. Any number of distractions can cause someone to lose focus for just a few seconds which is all it takes to make a mistake that can be critical. Almost everyone will be involved in at least one incident sometime during their lifetime and often it will be more than one.

If you are responsible for death or injury to others you will have to pay. It will not make a difference why the accident happened, or what event caused you to lose control, if the accident is found to be your fault you will be held responsible. This responsibility could add up to thousands of dollars.

You could lose everything if you do not have sufficient coverage. A simple fender bender might easily be covered with basic protection. However, should you be responsible for an incident involving several vehicles, or if there are injuries or fatalities that are a result, your insurance coverage might easily be exhausted and you will have to come up with the rest.

Your coverage will also protect you against events that are out of your control such as an animal running out in front of your car, or damage to your car while it is in a parking lot or on the street. Acts of nature such as hail storms, tornados, or floods could also cause a loss for you. Having protection against all the possibilities allows you to be prepared if something should happen.

The Cheapest Cars to Insure for Young Drivers

If you’re young and own a car, getting it insured can be a nightmare. Young drivers are seen as high risk drivers due to their lack of experience behind the wheel and as a result their premiums are sky high. Some young people are lucky enough to have parents who are willing to insure their car for them possibly saving them thousands of pounds in insurance every year. Others on the hand have to swallow the bitter pill and pay for their own insurance. Or even worse, decide to drive without insurance at all.

The average cost of insurance for a young male driver is a £4,000 per year and for a young female driver about £2,000 so if you have to insure your own vehicle it’s important to find the cheapest deal out there. What deals you get offered are dependent on how young you are and the cost of the car but also what type of vehicle you own. So it’s important to make sure you own the right car in order to get the best deals. If you’re between 17-18 year old and the car cost between £600 and £10,000, these are the top five cars you should choose to get the best possible insurance deals:

1. The new Ford Ka is the cheapest car to insure for young drivers. Average premium is around £1,650 a year. The older model Ford Ka is the second cheapest car for young people to insurance with an average cost of £1,780. You can get an older model for as little as £300 but the 2011 model will cost you from £7,400.

2. Peugeot 107 is the third cheapest car to insure for 17-18 year olds at the cost of £1,994 per year. And buying one used through a dealership you should expect to pay around £2,600 for a 2006 model. Interestingly enough it’s the same car as the Citroen C1 but £300 cheaper than the Citroen to insure.

3. The fourth cheapest car to insure is the very small Daewoo Matiz which is mainly a city car. Average cost of insurance was quoted at £2,258.

4. But if you want something cooler than what has been listed above, the new Mini One might be just the thing. Average insurance cost is £2,269 and a 2003 model will cost you around £2,500 though a dealer. Read more
