Car insurance for young drivers: when did you last check if your price is still competitive?
Insurers rarely tell you when a competitor is offering a better price.
Insurers use different pricing models for young drivers, which means the same driver can receive very different quotes from different companies. The only way to know is to check.
If you've been with the same insurer for 2+ years without comparing, there's a real chance you're not on their best available rate.

Typical cost
What are people actually paying?
Based on publicly available data, car insurance for young drivers typically ranges from $1,000–$2,500 per year. That's a wide spread — and where you land depends heavily on which insurer you choose, not just your circumstances.
Prices are indicative only, sourced from general market research. Actual quotes may differ. Always read the PDS before purchasing.
What affects your premium
Why prices vary so much
- ✓The make and model of your vehicle — repair costs and theft rates vary by car.
- ✓Your claims history — a strong no-claims record is one of the most effective ways to lower premiums.
- ✓Excess amount — choosing a higher excess usually reduces your annual premium.
- ✓Driver inclusions — adding young or inexperienced drivers can raise the cost.

Common questions
What does comprehensive car insurance cover?
Comprehensive car insurance covers damage to your own vehicle (from accidents, theft, fire, and weather events) as well as damage to other people's vehicles or property. It is the most complete level of cover available.
How can I lower my car insurance premium?
Common ways to reduce your premium include increasing your excess, limiting who is listed as a driver, choosing a car with lower repair costs, parking in a secure location, and comparing multiple insurers before renewal.
Is it worth comparing car insurance every year?
Yes. Insurers often increase premiums at renewal, and loyalty doesn't always translate to a better rate. A quick check each year can identify whether you're still on a competitive price.
