Very soon it will be illegal for insurers to offer different premiums to men and women based on their gender alone.
Insurance companies have slowly been changing their prices in recent weeks, with new pricing required to be in place very soon.
As a result, prices for women will rise and mens premiums will drop. The changes will be most pronounced for young drivers, female drivers under 25 could see a 25% rise. Men could see a more of a drop in cost of around 10%.
The change is designed to make things fairer for the customer, however women have gotten used to cheaper premiums over the years and the change in the law could potentially cost some young female drivers too much and could force them to stop driving.
