What affects your Discovery Insure premium?
Discovery Insure prices each driver on risk, so two people can pay very different amounts. The main factors are the same across insurers:
- The make, model, age and value of your car - and how likely it is to be stolen
- Where you live and where the car is parked overnight
- Your age, driving history and previous claims
- The cover level and the excess you choose
- Security features such as an approved tracking device
