Specialists don't always offer cheapest car insurance for women

Research from the online car insurance experts at uSwitch.com has shown that ladies looking for cheap car insurance for women should cast their net wider when searching for the best deals.

Whilst confirming that female drivers do enjoy a greater range of cheap motor insurance than men, the researchers also urge ladies to look further than the specialist women's car insurance companies such as Sheilas' Wheels and Diamond in order to maximise their savings.

uSwitch.com's study showed that a 30-something Swindon lady who owns a Peugeot 206 convertible would find the cheapest car insurance at M&S Insurance, beating the cheapest car insurance for women company by £25.

Similarly, a 19-year-old female Volkswagen owner from Solihull would find ibuyeco to offer a car insurance quote some £100 cheaper than Sheilas' Wheels and £600 cheaper than Ladybird.

A spokesperson for uSwitch said: "Statistically, women are safer drivers so in theory a female-focused insurer should be able to offer cheaper premiums.

"In some instances, it may be that the female-orientated insurer is the cheapest," he admitted, "but the premiums and cover on offer should be assessed alongside the mainstream market so that women can be confident they have got the best deal at the best price."

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
