It’s certainly not easy to get affordable car insurance as a teenager. Car insurance quotes for teenage drivers can be huge when it comes to buying a car, which is a bit of a downer if you’ve just passed your test.
But there is a way you can make your insurance more affordable as a teenage driver. Black box insurance lets you pay for your car insurance based on how you drive and rewards you for driving well. ingenie looks at your speed, acceleration, braking and cornering and uses that data to work out your discounts at renewal.

In the ingenie community, the average age of the cars we insure is 10 years old (and for good reason!). It’s just cheaper to get car insurance for a less fancy car if you’re a teenage driver.
However, you still need to be fussy over a few things. Fuel efficiency and vehicle tax are 2 more considerations – how much fuel are you going to have to buy to get around and how much tax are you going to have to pay?
Cars in low insurance groups are not only cheaper to insure – they’re also more likely to have low vehicle tax and could even be exempt.
Most car insurance for teenage drivers (including ingenie’s) can’t give cover on cars which have modifications and those that do can be more expensive. A modification is anything that has been added to the car which doesn’t come as manufacturer standard, including bumper stickers.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell what a modification is, so check out our handy guide before you get your car insurance quotes.
