Young people looking for the cheapest cars to insure weren’t forgotten.

Admiral reckons the Volkswagen Up! is the cheapest car for 17-year-olds with an average premium of £1,046.73.

Clare Egan, head of motor product at Admiral said: “There are things that you can do to help keep premiums down, such as considering the type of car you drive, being accurate with your mileage, increasing your excess and paying annually.

“One of the most effective methods for lowering insurance costs for young drivers is telematics or black box insurance.

“These small devices measure how you drive and reward safe drivers with discounted insurance.”
