Until about 10 years ago, cheap car insurance for women drivers was not a priority for most insurers’. Today, women can get some excellent deals on their motor insurance, but as with most things, you have to shop around to find the best prices.
Below is a short guide to help women find the cheapest car insurance deals.
Car insurance prices seem to be considerably lower for women than they are for men and this is especially noticed up to the age of 45. When drivers hit this age the price of their car insurance begins to level itself out.

Statistics in the UK show that women are safer drivers than men and insurance premiums are partly based on these statistics. Below are some of these figures:
Government figures show that over 92% of driving convictions in the UK are for men.
Male drivers are responsible for 98% of all dangerous driving convictions.
It is proven that women tend to drive more slowly, carefully and shorter distances than men.
Even though women have the same amount of accidents a year as men, the accident is less likely to be as severe. This means that women drivers overall claims experience are a lot better than that of male drivers.
