New Drivers Car Insurance
New drivers facing sky high insurance premiums often feel that they have hit a financial roadblock, but with great savings Quoteline Direct can help to get you back on the road.
As a young driver it seems unfair that car insurance is most expensive when you can least afford it, but take a quick look at the statistics and everything begins to make sense. One in five drivers will crash in their first year behind the wheel*, and each year more than 38,000 people are injured or killed in crashes involving drivers with less than two years' experience**.
It makes for sobering reading and it's hardly surprising that higher risk means higher premiums. However, if you dig a little deeper into the statistics; you find that young drivers have a higher proportion of crashes in the evenings and early mornings.
Naturally this got us thinking about how we could save you money, and we have found a neat solution. All we ask is that you don't drive your car between the hours of 11.00pm and 5.00am, which is a small price to pay for some serious savings. So how does it work?
The first step is for an engineer to visit and fit a small GPS device to your car, typically behind the dashboard. The GPS ensures us that the car isn't being used in the 'Red Hours' (between 11.00pm & 5.00am) and you'll be charged extra if you drive during this period. However, getting used to the 'Red Hours' is easier than you might think.especially if you consider that you're likely to be in bed.
We have been asking young drivers and their parents for feedback and they have all being saying the same thing; that it's much better to be out driving until 11.00pm, than stuck at home saving-up for insurance they can't afford.
