Why does car insurance vary?
Your job can have an impact on how much time you spend on the road or how much you're likely to spend on a car. But these aren't the only factors insureres will use when pricing up your car insurance. In fact, driving experience is equally as important.
You can see below how each of these factors can have an impact on the average price of car insurance.
The key to getting the best car insurance is to be as accurate as possible. Choosing the closest job role or annual mileage will mean you're getting the best price for you. Always tell your insurer if your job title or any other circumstance changes. This makes sure your policy remains accurate.
