Context
The average price motorists are paying for their motor insurance now stands at a five year low according to the ABI’s latest Motor Insurance Premium Tracker, which is a market survey that looks at the price consumers pay for their cover, rather than the price quoted. In part, the fall reflects insurers passing on cost savings following fewer claims being settled, with fewer vehicles being on the roads, during previous national lockdowns.
Key points to note
The ABI tracker for the second quarter highlights that:
- The average price paid for comprehensive motor insurance in the second quarter of this year was £430. This was down £6 on the previous quarter, falling by £30 (7%) over the last year, since the same quarter, 2020.
- The current average motor insurance premium of £430 stands at its lowest in just over five years, since quarter one, 2016.
- Over the first six months of this year the average motor premium has fallen by £38 since quarter four last year.
