Motor insurance premiums depend on several factors, which is why two people with similar vehicles can pay different amounts. Deepak Yohannan, Insurance Expert, explains that the vehicle’s make, model, and fuel type are some of the key factors insurers consider. A customer’s claims history also plays an important role, as a no-claim bonus can reduce the own-damage premium significantly. The location where the vehicle is driven can also affect the premium, as insurers consider local driving patterns, accident history and risk levels. Understanding these factors can help vehicle owners compare policies and make better-informed insurance decisions.
