If you've recently passed your test, you've probably noticed that car insurance can be expensive.
The main reason is that young and newly qualified drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in an accident while they're gaining experience on the road. Around 1 in 5 new drivers have an accident within their first year of driving, which increases the number of claims insurers receive. As a result, insurance premiums are typically higher for younger drivers.
While this can feel frustrating, it isn't simply about age. Insurers use a range of information to assess risk, including driving experience, claims history, vehicle type and driving behaviour.
How Carrot Insurance Services helps young drivers
At Carrot, we believe young drivers should be recognised for driving safely.
That's why every Carrot policy includes a black box that monitors driving behaviour and provides feedback through the Better Driver by Carrot app. The aim isn't to catch drivers out. It's to help them build safer habits and gain confidence behind the wheel.
