Car insurance customers in Scotland are paying less than drivers in England when covering their vehicle, a new report has shown.
A new survey looking at the cost of auto insurance across regions of delete the UK has revealed that Scotland is home to some of the cheapest policies in the country.
Carried out by moneysupermarket.com, the research placed seven postal areas of Scotland in the top ten most inexpensive list – Dunfermline, Glenrothes, Aberdeen, Grangemouth, Elgin and two in Dundee.
However, the cheapest auto insurance in the UK can be found in Truro, Cornwall, with an average lowest quote for a year resting at of £355.72.
The Manchester towns of Ardwick, Longsight and Chorlton-on-Medlock were found to have the costliest policies at a typical low quote of £873.45, while Birmingham, Liverpool and Bradford also fared badly.
Steve Sweeney, head of motor insurance at moneysupermarket.com, said: “At a time when most motorists are looking to save pounds, car insurance is yet another added, but necessary, expense – so the more cost effective the car insurance the better.
“Of course it’s no surprise to see urban hotspots such as Manchester and Birmingham topping the chart for the most expensive postcodes, where motorists could see the cost of their cover double.”
A large proportion of motorists in the UK have admitted that they do not fully understand the terms and conditions of their auto insurance policies.
A recent survey from swiftcover.com found that 42 per cent of drivers taking out auto insurance are not certain about aspects of their policies, with 18 per cent claiming that providers deliberately set out to confuse them.
