UK online car insurance most popular with young people
Young people are the most likely to take advantage of all the benefits of UK online car insurance, research has found.
An analysis of purchases on the web found that young people were the most likely age group to get their motor insurance online. Further study showed that as the age of the person increased, the likelihood that they would buy UK online car insurance decreased.
Statistics from the study showed that around 24% of 18 to 24 year olds chose the online option, whilst just 3% of those over 65 went to the web for their motor insurance.
The main reason for this is thought to be familiarity with the web. Most young people have grown up with the internet as being a resource they often turn to so to get UK online car insurance is just a natural step. However, older generations are less likely to turn to the internet when they need information and are more used to using the telephone for their motor insurance.
