Vauxhall Corsa car insurance

Insurers view younger drivers as being more likely to cause road accidents, so premiums tend to be higher

Living in an area that suffers from higher rates of car theft or vandalism is likely to increase your premiums

Your job might affect your premiums as some professions are deemed more-at-risk to road incidents than others

Having previous insurance claims or driving convictions tells insurers you’re more likely to make one in the future - so your premiums go up

Simply, the further you travel the more likely you are to have an accident. This is how insurers see it, and so price premiums accordingly

Where you leave your car also affects insurance costs - by parking your vehicle in a private garage or driveway, you could earn lower premiums
