Car Insurance: Girls Guide to Choosing the Right One

16:37 Mon 24th May 2010 |

Girls if you’re looking for a great deal on car insurance look no further. There are many car insurance companies that specialise exclusively insurance for women only. It’s a well known fact that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, so with insurers such as Diamond and Be Wiser Insurance you will be spoilt for choice.


Speedy Deals:


Extreme discounts, legal cover, short term policies and flexible payment plans are just some of the benefits women can expect from car insurance companies. According to the AA, from the age of 17, female drivers are on average charged about half of what men pay for their vehicle insurance. To put this in to perspective the Motoring Organisation say that women pay around £1,800 while their male counterparts will pay almost £3,500.


The argument that women are better driver’s isn’t quite resolved, however the reasons there insurance is significantly cheaper are very clear. Women generally make fewer, less expensive claims and even when they do the claims tend to be for minor bumps and scrapes as opposed to expensive write offs.


Statistically women drivers have considerably lower mileage than their male counterparts. This will have knock on effect on the price of your car insurance premium, the lower you annual mileage, the cheaper this becomes.


Women generally tend to drive more cautiously than men, incurring fewer speeding fines and endorsements. They are also less likely to make an expensive claim so car insurance companies have found a niche market targeted specifically for women.


As these car insurers specialise in female car insurance only, they strive to cover the needs of women drivers, offering a range of quality benefits and services, which are tailored at competitive prices.
