Work out insurance premium estimate instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Motor premiums are a base risk price multiplied by rating factors. Age is the strongest: a 19 year old pays over twice a 35 year old's rate for the same car. No-claims discount builds at roughly 8 points a year to a cap around 60%, and a voluntary excess trims a little more.
Premium estimate
premium = base x age factor x (1 - NCD) x excess factor
Crash rates for drivers under 25 are several times higher per mile, and their claims are more severe. The premium reflects measured risk, not prejudice.
Only if you could pay it. Going from 250 to 500 typically saves 5-8% of premium, which takes several years to recoup if you claim.
