North East drivers paid 13% more for their car insurance last year compared to 2021, industry figures have revealed.
The car insurance team at Comparethemarket analysed the year-on-year increase of insurance costs across the UK and revealed that North East motorists experienced a £67 average increase in premiums last year. The average cost for a car insurance premium in the region was £572 in November 2022, compared to £505 in November 2021.
Although this was £114 more than motorists in the South West, who had the cheapest premiums last year at £458, drivers in London fared the worst, with average premiums of £822 in 2022, which although were lower than £960 in 2021, were still £250 more than someone in the North East could expect to pay.
