There are several factors that will have an impact on the costs of your car insurance. Car insurance, from the insurance company’s perspective, is all about risk. That is, the risk that you might make a claim. Consequently, if you have made a claim before, or if you are more likely to be involved in a road traffic accident than the average driver, this will increase the cost of your car insurance.
How does an insurance company assess the likelihood of your being involved in a road traffic accident? Having made a previous claim is one factor, but your car insurance will also be more expensive if you have points on your licence for drink driving or dangerous driving, for instance. Also, some professions are considered to be higher risk. A DJ for instance who drives from one end of the country to another and accumulates a high annual mileage will pay more for their car insurance than a nurse or a teacher who drives a few miles to the local school or hospital. The type of car you drive will also have an impact. If you own a sports car, you will pay more for your car insurance than the owner of a Vauxhall Corsa for example, all other factors being equal.
The area where you live, as defined by your post code, will also have an impact on your car insurance. If you live in an inner city area with a high crime rate, then statistically speaking you are more likely to have your car stolen than if you live in a rural area with a low crime rate. You will therefore pay more for your car insurance, all other factors again being equal.
Some of the factors mentioned are things that you cannot do much about, as are other factors such as your age and gender. Your car insurance is likely to be higher if you are a new or inexperienced driver and also if you are an elderly driver, as statistically the majority of accidents involve the very young or the very old. Women drivers are less likely to be involved in a road traffic accident however, so they will pay less for their car insurance than male drivers in a similar situation.
There are some measures you can take however to reduce your car insurance. For instance, if you do happen to live in an area with a high crime rate you can reduce the cost of your car insurance by taking out security measures to protect your vehicle from theft. Parking your car in a secure garage will help, and installing security devices such as immobilisers will also help. Reducing your annual mileage will also help to reduce the cost of your car insurance, as the more you drive the more likely you are to be involved in an accident. Driving carefully and so avoiding points on your licence will also help. You may want to consider taking an advanced driving course such as Pass Plus, as insurance companies will look on this as a sign that you are an experienced driver who drives safely and they will therefore significantly reduce the cost of cheap car insurance for you.
Apart from your personal circumstances (including your age and gender, your post code, the work you do, whether you have made previous claims or have prior convictions), all of which are considered in the light of risk, the type of car you drive is the major factor in determining the cost of your car insurance. This is less from the point of view of risk (though certain cars may be considered more risky than others) but more from the point of view of costs - that is, how much it would cost to repair your vehicle, to buy spare parts, or to purchase a brand new replacement should your car be written off in an accident. Replacing an Aston Martin is going to cost more than replacing a Volkswagen Fox, for instance, and so your car insurance will be more expensive.
