CITY‘UK’S CHEAPEST FOR CAR INSURANCE’

A NORTH Wales location is the cheapest in the UK to get car insurance, a survey says.

Bangor is the cheapest city in the UK to get car insurance, according to a survey by Riverdale Leasing.

They say drivers in the North Wales city pay the lowest average cost, compared to other cities across the

UK.

Bangor’s average car annual insurance was £241; with Bath second on £260; and Carlisle on £261.

The most expensive were – not entirely surprisingly – London first, with an average of £792; Manchester second - £748; and Liverpool third £730.

“The cheapest place for car insurance is Bangor, according to our research,” a spokesman for the company said.

“We found that drivers’ policies in the Welsh city were 41% cheaper than the typical UK insurance price.

“At just £241 for an annual policy, you could save a huge £189 on your premium, on average.”

The findings mapped how cities compared to the average £430 insurance premium, according to The Association of British Insurers. (ABI)

Car insurance quotes across 50 UK cities were compared, taking 20 policy prices per city, totalling 1,000, Riverdale Leasing said.

The data was collected in July 2021 from Compare the Market and updated in August 2021 to reflect the most recent average insurance price, according to the ABI.

Quotes were requested using the same factors, such as car model and driver age.

Active residential postcodes were selected at random to give a snapshot of each city.

Reasons for the stark differences in price, were not given by Riverdale Leasing.
