With the average cost of car ownership over our lifetime estimated to exceed £168,000, it is not just the initial purchase price of the car you must consider. There are other factors such as maintenance, road tax, running costs and of course insurance.

With first-time drivers being the highest risk group on the roads, the price of insurance can be extremely high. It is therefore vital to choose a car which is in the lower insurance group with good safety features, a small engine and at a relatively low price.

1. The Ford KA

Around for over a decade now, the Ford KA has become a common sight on Britain’s roads, and it certainly ticks many boxes as a first car.

Costing around £9,795 for the newest version, the model is in the cheapest insurance bracket. In fact, according to statistics, the Ford KA works out as the cheapest car model to insure for first-time buyers due to its good fuel economy, low road tax and small dimensions. There are also plenty of second-hand Ford KAs available at a good price.

More and more consumers are freeing their selves of their auto financing payments by doing this. The modern consumer has spoken, and he prefers ride sharing apps over traditional taxi cabs.

Should I Buy a New Ride or Share Someone Else's?

Ride sharing apps have allowed consumers to sell each other lifts in the most convenient and economical of ways. Companies such as Carcoin have developed an entire blockchain service around this concept. Not only will such a blockchain handle the monetary end, but it will handle the logistics end too! The blockchain will even track the number of times a driver decelerated or accelerated too abruptly! Such advancements take ride sharing technology to a whole new level of excitement.

In the past, if a consumer lived in a more remote area, buying a car was the only option. Ride sharing brings a level of taxi traffic to smaller areas that rivals some medium sized cities even! This is simply not the case anymore. More consumers than ever before can opt for ride sharing services instead of financing a car when it comes to commuting.
