The 10 cheapest used cars for new drivers to insure - how to save money on your car insurance

Car insurance costs for new drivers remain the biggest single expense after buying a car.

Insurance data shows that new drivers, especially younger ones, have a far higher chance of making a claim, costing insurers money and leading to higher premiums. In fact, concerns around the number of accidents involving young drivers have prompted MPs to once again consider a graduated driving licence with certain limitations on new drivers.

While that’s being considered, new drivers still face far higher-than-average premium costs. There are tricks drivers can use to bring down their bills - from using a telematics tracker to  adding a more experienced driver to the policy - but among the simplest methods is choosing a car with lower insurance costs. 

With that in mind, insurance experts at Confused have used their data from millions of quotes to come up with the 10 cheapest cars for new drivers to insure.
