Market update (27 July 2026): two major insurer groups — including the cheapest black-box provider in most of our data — left the comparison panel we calibrate against, and cheapest quotes for young drivers rose roughly 50%. Our estimates now track this new, higher market. If those insurers return, real quotes could come in below the range shown — get a real quote before you budget.

Indicative estimates from public data, not quotes — running cost excludes servicing (shown separately, where a published band exists). Vouched does not give insurance advice.

Fuel at £1.51/L petrol or £1.65/L diesel, DESNZ Jul 2026; EVs at home charging (26.1p/kWh, Ofgem cap).
