New research reveals the cheapest and most expensive places to insure a car.
London is the most expensive place to insure a car in the UK, says the AA. Motorists in the capital pay almost four times more for car insurance as drivers on the Isle of Man.
The average cost of annual car insurance in London stands at £922, according to AA Insurance, which compiles an index of the typical cost of car insurance for someone who shops around.
The Isle of Man is the cheapest place to insure a car, with the average quote for someone there who shops around standing at £231.
The AA Index also shows that the annual cost of comprehensive car insurance cover has fallen by around £120 over the last year, to around £504. This comes amid Government moves to tackle fraudulent and exaggerated motor insurance claims, particularly for whiplash injuries.
However, the AA believes that the downward trend will come to an end towards the end of 2014.
