Women drivers

The majority of car insurance claims made by women are for relatively minor accidents when compared to their male counterparts. On average, women drive shorter distances, have lower mileage and often drive more cautiously than their male counterparts. That's why numerous insurance companies are emerging specifically targeting the female driver.

Many car insurance companies will offer cheaper deals for women; however they still have to factor males into the pot of money they set aside for claims. Consequently, car insurance companies have started to emerge which deal only with female customers. These companies believe that they can give the benefits back to the drivers through cheaper car insurance quotes and premiums. Female policyholders can even insure males as named drivers.

The advantages also apply to young female drivers with some companies offering young driver insurance to 17+ females as opposed to 19+ males, which, in turn allows young women to be fast tracked for their no claims bonus.

In part two we will take a look at the advantages on offer for young drivers.
