The survey was completed by moneysupermarket.com and included about one million motor insurance quotes that were issued over the past 12 months.  The quotes showed that Scotland is able to offer seven of the cheapest UK car insurance quotes out of the top ten cheapest quotes found in the survey.

Truro topped the list as the best place for cheap car insurance.  The only two locations that were not in Scotland that made the list outside of Truro were Bury St. Edmunds and Penzance.

The most expensive places to purchase auto insurance were in Manchester and Birmingham.  Areas within both of these cities make up six of the ten most expensive places in the survey to base your auto insurance premium with motorists in Manchester paying about £500 more than those that live in Scotland.

Liverpool which used to be considered the worst place to live for auto insurance only had one area make the list this year.

Head of motor insurance at the website Steve Sweeney said that there are a wide array of reasons that the price you are charged for may change based on where you live such as the population of the city to the crime in the area.

Sweeney continued to say that areas that are high risk often get blanket rates assigned to them making insurance rates much higher than if they were kept on a case by case basis.

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> Price comparison website Moneysupermarket.com compared more than six million quotes to find that men on average pay about £860 for auto insurance premiums while women only pay about £516 for their insurance premiums.

However, the largest difference in gender premiums appears in teenagers with an 18 year old female only paying about half of what an 18 male pays, which is a whopping £1,080 difference on average.

Teenage males however who drive for a few years are able to drop their average premiums from £2,300 to £1000 once they are age 20.

Head of the motor insurance company Steve Sweeney stated that men have always had to pay higher insurance premiums when compared to men, which are shown in the large differences in the study.

Most insurance companies see women as mature safer motorists; which is why their premiums cost less in general and also decrease quicker as a woman ages than premiums of men.

Sweeney went on to state that males will always find themselves forced to pay more for insurance, especially those who are younger because they considered to be a high insurance risk.

The age of an insured male motorist differs largely by age with a man in his twenties paying about £1,000 a year while a man in his thirties pays around £470.
