What are the cheapest cars to insure for young drivers?

Young people are statistically high-risk drivers, owing to their understandable lack of experience, so it is hardly surprising they will have to pay more for their motor insurance.
But it’s not all gloom and doom for young or newly qualified drivers. There are some things you can do to help yourself, such as taking an advanced driving course, agreeing a limited mileage policy or installing a black box.
Joining a car owners’ club can also earn you a discount, as can keeping your car garaged, or adding a parent to your policy.
It’s also worth remembering some cars are cheaper to insure than others. Here are the cheapest insurance premiums, using real-life quotes to drivers of a similar profile, offered by Adrian Flux.
