VW Beetle yields cheapest car insurance for young drivers

Car insurance for young drivers needn't cost the generally accepted £1000 or more, according to Adrian Flux. The specialist car insurance firm claims that even those as young as 17 can get away with a three-figure motor insurance bill - provided they choose the right car.

And somewhat surprisingly, that car is the 'classic' Volkswagen Beetle.

Built to the German firm's original 1930s specifications, and recently discontinued in the one country - Mexico - still producing it, the classic VW Beetle now looks more like a museum exhibit than the key to cheap car insurance. But, says Adrian Flux, the annual cost of cover for the average 17-year-old man is just £932, and it's even cheaper for a woman.

The VW Beetle outdid a bevy of much more modern cars, including the Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 106, in their top ten list of models that yield the cheapest car insurance for young drivers.
