How much does monthly car insurance typically cost?

Even though monthly car insurance can be a cheaper alternative in many situations, the cost still depends on the details of the policy. This means that the overall cost will depend on several factors that are provided when getting a quote. These factors include:

• The car’s make and model – the more expensive your car is to repair or replace, the most expensive it will be to insure.
• The car’s age – Driving old cars can mean you miss out on important safety features and parts can be difficult and more expensive to find.
• Vehicle modifications – Making modifications and adding car cosmetics can cause prices to rise as insurers are less likely to pay for parts and features that aren’t manufacturer standard.
• Your driving experience – As you’d expect, new drivers with less experience are more likely to have an accident, therefore insurers will increase prices for new and young drivers.
• Driving licence type – If you’re learning to drive, you could find monthly learner insurance to help you practice, but you will have to pay more if you only have a provisional licence,
• Where you live – The crime rates and traffic accident statistics of where you live, and drive will increase or reduce the price of your policy. Safer areas will be cheaper than those with high crime and accident rates.
