Black box insurance
Black box insurance might sound like something for a sci-fi film. But it’s actually a brilliant way of helping young people to drive safely and get them the cheapest deals possible, quoting them on their driving style, not their peers.
New driver insurance

Under 21 car insurance
There’s no day more exciting than the day you get your full UK driving licence. But then you get hit with a nasty reality… car insurance. Don’t worry. Everyone at MyFirstUK is here to help you!
How do I get the best new driver insurance?
Consider paying annually
Paying for insurance in a lump sum, rather than by monthly direct debit, will work out significantly cheaper.
Increase your excess
If you choose a higher excess figure (the amount you have to pay upfront in the event of a claim) your overall premium will likely be reduced.
Get an extra qualification
Some insurers will reward new drivers who get additional driver training qualifications, such as PassPlus, with a smaller premium to pay.
Add an experienced
second driver
Adding an older, more experienced driver can reassure the insurer that the car won’t be being exclusively used by the new driver. Be careful, though, that you aren’t found to be ‘fronting’.
Agree to telematics
Some insurers can fit a ‘black box’ device, which gives a profile of your driving style and mileage. Keep within certain parameters and your premium could fall.
Ensure the car is secure
Fitting additional security measures and advanced alarm systems can be a way of ensuring cheaper new driver quotes from the insurers.
