Gareth Kloet, Head of Car Insurance at Confused.com says: "Young drivers and learners are telling us that the cost of insurance is the biggest barrier to getting behind the wheel: more so than the cost of buying the car.
"Buying your first car should be exciting, not a worry about whether you can afford the insurance costs. Here at confused.com we want to offer young drivers the chance to find the perfect car with the cheapest insurance."
"Once the car has been found drivers should shop around for cover as premiums can vary greatly between providers; a comparison site is a great way to do this."
