The cost of the typical premium currently stands at £950, following a substantial rise of £326 over the past 12 months.

Young drivers will see the biggest increase in car insurance, jumping by £655 to £2,002. 

However, older drivers aged 65+ have also seen a rise of 57% on average in the past 12 months.
