Why Do You Need Car Insurance For Under 25s And Young Drivers?
Young drivers in Australia often face higher risks and higher costs when it comes to getting insured. Without the right plan, it’s easy to end up overpaying or under-covered. Here are some reasons why this type of insurance matters.
- Higher accident risks: Young drivers are more likely to be involved in road accidents, which makes having the right cover crucial for protection.
- Lack of driving history: Insurers see less experience as a higher risk, making tailored insurance important for fair pricing.
- Access to affordable plans: Special policies for young drivers help avoid overpriced premiums and offer better value for money.
- Cover for first-time cars: Many young drivers buy their first car, which needs suitable insurance to cover common risks.
- Avoid stress during claims: With the right plan, you get clear terms and support during claims, making the process easier and less stressful.

How under-25s can find cheaper car insurance
In short: young drivers pay more because of statistical risk – but you can bring the premium down. The biggest levers are a higher voluntary excess, a telematics or limited-kilometre policy, choosing a lower-risk car, adding an experienced named driver, and comparing insurers before you buy.
Practical ways to lower a young driver premium:
- Raise your voluntary excess – a higher excess usually means a lower premium (just make sure you can afford it at claim time).
- Consider telematics / black-box cover – safe driving is rewarded with lower pricing, often the single biggest saving for under-25s.
- Pick a lower-risk car – a modest, safe, lower-powered car is far cheaper to insure than a high-performance one.
- Add an experienced named driver – genuine regular drivers only; never front the policy, as it can void a claim.
- Look at limited-kilometre or restricted-use policies if you do not drive far.
- Pay annually and keep a clean record – fewer fees and a growing no-claim history both help.
- Compare cover levels – third-party property can be cheaper than comprehensive; weigh it against your car’s value.
We help you compare and connect with insurers – we facilitate cover rather than underwrite it. For related help see our car insurance hub, student car insurance, and short-term cover. Buying your first car? Start with a car history check.
Cheap car insurance for under 25s: FAQs
Why is car insurance so expensive for under 25s?
Insurers price on statistical risk, and drivers under 25 – especially P-platers – have more claims on average, so premiums start higher. The good news is the cost is not fixed: your car, excess, cover level and driving record all move the price.
What is the cheapest cover for a young or P-plate driver?
Often a higher voluntary excess, a lower-risk car, and a telematics or limited-kilometre policy bring the price down. Third-party property can be cheaper than comprehensive, but weigh the trade-off if your car is worth protecting. Compare a few insurers before deciding.
Does adding a parent as a named driver lower the premium?
It can, if the parent is a genuine regular driver on the policy. Listing an experienced driver alongside the young driver may reduce the price. Never list a parent as the main driver when the young person is really the main driver – that is fronting, and it can void a claim.
Is a black-box or telematics policy worth it for young drivers?
For safe drivers, yes – telematics rewards good habits with lower premiums and can be one of the biggest savings available to under-25s. If your driving is monitored and steady, it often beats a standard policy on price.
When does car insurance get cheaper as you get older?
Premiums typically ease as you build years of licensed, claim-free driving, with a common step-down around age 25. Keeping a clean record and no-claim history is what drives the price down over time.
