Think about it from the insurers point of view for a moment and it seems pretty obvious why they would treat young drivers in this manner. To an insurance company you a just a number, a statistic and a faceless being on the end of a telephone. The only way they have to judge how big a risk you pose to the financial success of their business is to use the information you give them to try decide how likely is is that you are going to make a claim on your policy if they grant you cover.

The statistics show that very young people who are new to driving are more likely to make claims, that’s a fact. It is therefore obvious that car insurance for young people is going to reflect this fact by being more expensive than we would like. There really is no way around it, although we can usually find a wide variation in quoted premiums by shopping around with a large number of insurers before making a decision.

If you are a young driver who has just passed their driving test recently then the best advice if you want to spend as little as possible on your insurance is to drive a car which the insurance companies deem to pose a smaller risk. This is of course unless you have an unlimited financial resource and don’t mind paying extortionate prices for a years insurance cover.

Get a few years driving experience under your belt first in a car which isn’t a high performance vehicle and which has a limit cash value. Then, 2 or 3 years down the line when you have the experience and hopefully have avoided making any claims make inquiries with a specialist modified car insurer before you make any purchases to see if the quoted price is acceptable to you.

Getting young modified insurance for any car is a challenge and something that should really only be tried if you have a true passion for custom cars. The prices involved for insurance mean that for most of us its better to wait a few years during which time we can obtain insurance for a standard vehicle and build up some valuable experience on the roads which will come in handy in the years of modified motoring we have to look forward to.
