Why this driver pays this
- A driver in the first year of driving has no record to go on, so insurers charge a new-driver loading and there is no no-claim discount to take off.
- The BYD Dolphin is electric: repairs and parts cost more at some insurers, so they price electric cars higher than petrol cars of the same size.
- 9 insurers do not quote this driver online on this car: ECICS (ECICS quotes drivers with at least 2 years of driving experience online); ERGO (This insurer has no online price for this car model yet); Great Eastern (This insurer's online price is for drivers with at least 2 years of driving experience); HL Assurance (HL Assurance asks for at least 2 years of driving licence online); India International (This insurer has no online price for electric cars); Liberty (This insurer's online price is for repairs at any workshop); MS First Capital (MS First Capital does not quote electric cars online); QBE (This insurer has no online price for this car model yet); UOI (This insurer's online price is for repairs at any workshop).
