'Search beyond specialist providers for cheapest deals'
Drivers in specialist car insurance categories should look beyond specialist insurance providers to secure the best deal, according to a price comparison site.
Research conducted by moneysupermarket.com found that traditional providers often offer better deals for women drivers despite the claims made to the contrary by the likes of women-only providers Diamond, Sheilas’ Wheels and Ladybird.
The site highlighted the example of a 30-year-old woman seeking to insure a Renault Megane or Ford Focus, who would be typically quoted £174 by traditional providers.
However, was she to attempt to secure the same cover from women-only providers she would pay an average of £269.
Richard Mason, director of insurance at moneysupermarket.com said the findings highlighted the need for consumers to shop around before choosing a policy.
He commented: "Specialist insurers such as Sheilas' Wheels, Ladybird and Diamond promote themselves to women as the value alternative, catering specifically for their needs. But our research shows it pays to shop around all of the market.
"While these insurers may sometimes come up trumps on price, and with extra benefits such as handbag cover, chances are they will be usually be beaten on premiums."
