Young Driver Car Insurance NI 

In Northern Ireland as elsewhere, young drivers can find it difficult to find young driver insurance NI, having just passed their test at age 17. Because of this, many teenagers are added to their parent's policy until they are older. Before taking that step, use the quote system to get multiple underage car insurance quotes in minutes. Sift through the 40 plus individualised quotes from a panel of specialist insurance brokers, and you may find a policy that works out to your advantage. Competitive insurance rates do exists and by comparing multiple insurance brokers should help you in finding them.

The cover options for drivers under 21 are the same regardless of age. The base package and the legal minimum is third party. Next up the level is third party fire and theft, which as the name suggests covers both third parties and damage caused by fire or theft.

Avoid Fronting to get cheaper insurance

Fronting is illegal and can void any insurance cover you think you may have. Fronting is when a more experienced driver takes out an insurance policy and adds a higher risk driver to the policy as a named driver, when the higher risk driver will actually be the main driver. 

A common example of fronting is when a parent takes an insurance policy in their name for a son or daughter who is starting University and are finding it difficult to get affordable cover. The parent then adds the student to the car policy and is a form of fraud referred to as fronting. In some cases, the experienced driver may not be aware that this a fraudulent, illegal action. So I have added this section as a word of warning to anyone considering this approach to getting cheaper insurance for young drivers.

Minimise risk always

The premiums that you pay depends on how much of a risk you are to the insurer. It’s worth stating that the premiums you pay depend also on your chosen policy provider as well as the level of cover. Actuaries calculate risk and use the figures to come up with premiums based on risk. If you can prove to the insurer that you’re different from the traditional high-risk under-25 driver, your chances of paying less in premiums should increase.

Finally, avoid modifying your car, especially to make it go faster. The only changes that you should consider are ones that will bring down the costs of the annual or monthly premium on your young driver insurance NI policy. Start with adding additional security and safety features, such as tracking devices or immobilisers. First, check that they are approved by the northern Irish insurance industry.
