Don’t you just hate the fact that car insurance is so expensive no matter how hard you try to bring it down. As someone with a very tight budget, I find that student car insurance is just ridiculously expensive. I tried taking off legal expenses cover because I don’t think I’m going to need it if I can’t even get the car insurance in my name but this doesn’t seem to have any positive changes. I’ve also increased my excess to the maximum and this barely decreased my premiums.
All in all, I’m still not any better off than when I started. Students like me cannot afford to pay huge sums for car insurance quotes because we have very little money to spend. It’s not like we have a full time job and getting 6 figures salary. On the contrary, we have a tiny budget and so many things that we want to buy. We have to keep up with fashion and get the latest gadgets but this is only because the society demands it.
Just when you think that things can’t get any worse, you see that petrol prices are going up. Now what do you do? Do you ditch the car that you want cheap insurance on because of increasing fuel costs or do you just sacrifice on other things just to be able to drive?
