A 17-year-old driver who has recently passed their driving test could face an average insurance cost of £3,075, according to new data.
That's a £1,071 increase compared to last year, when the average quote stood at £2,004, according to Compare the Market. The website compared quotes for March 2024 with those from March 2023, based on its customers' searches and the quotes generated.

However, premiums for new motorists with no claims should then hopefully fall in subsequent years."
