The cheapest cars with the cheapest road tax are usually carefully chosen used models first registered between 1 March 2001 and 31 March 2017. Under the Vehicle Excise Duty rates applying from 1 April 2026, cars in Bands A and B cost ÂŁ20 a year, while Band C costs ÂŁ35. The catch is that the exact engine, trim, gearbox, registration date and recorded COâ‚‚ figure all matter. Two cars carrying the same model badge can fall into different tax bands.
There is no fixed number of alcohol units that guarantees you can drive legally or safely. UK drink-drive limits are based on the concentration of alcohol found in breath, blood or urine, not on whether somebody has consumed one pint, two glasses of wine or a particular number of units. Alcohol affects people differently, and driving ability can be reduced before the legal threshold is reached.
To get cheaper car insurance for an 18-year-old son, start by comparing the correct household arrangement rather than putting the policy in a parent’s name by default. The car’s real main driver, where it is normally kept, how it will be used and who genuinely expects to drive it all need to be declared accurately.
Car insurance is usually expensive for a 17-year-old because insurers have almost no personal driving history to assess, while evidence for the wider 17-to-24 age group points to a higher risk of serious collisions. The price is not based on age alone. The car, postcode, mileage, licence date, vehicle use and previous insurance history can all change the result.
Staying at home to watch the World Cup may be the cheapest option this summer. Even then, there are plenty of savings to be had.
There is no single car that will be the cheapest to insure for every UK driver. Recent policy-sales data puts the Mazda MX-5 at the top of the overall table, with a median annual premium of ÂŁ263, while the Skoda Citigo was cheapest among drivers aged under 25 at ÂŁ544. Look only at current new-car insurance groups and the answer changes again: the Hyundai i10 1.0 automatic sits in group 1.
Choosing a first car is exciting. Seeing the insurance quotation can be rather less so. Young drivers may be able to reduce the price by comparing equivalent policies, checking insurance costs before buying a car, considering telematics and giving insurers accurate information about mileage, vehicle use and who will be driving.
The Caribbean has, for a long time, been one of the most sought-after holiday destinations.
Spring brings a fixture pile-up across European football competitions, and the Europa League sits at the heart of it. Matches arrive in quick succession, often midweek, leaving fans scrambling to track kick-off times, squad rotations, and betting markets.Â
