How much for first insurance on a 1.3-litre?

Around how much would I be paying for insurance on a 1.3 petrol car? It will be the first time insuring a car.

Hi John,

A lot. Sorry, but that’s just the very harsh truth for you. If you’re a new driver, or worse are aged under 30, you’re going to pay an absolute fortune. If you can, trade down to a 1.0-litre car as that will help a little and definitely find yourself a good insurance broker to help you find the best possible deal.
