Car insurance can hit motorists' pockets hard, varying by almost £1,000 depending upon the make and model of the vehicle.

That's the assessment of comparison site GoCompare and many drivers have found out the hard way when they check out insurance premiums after picking their car. Research shows that the most expensive type of car to insure costs around £1,200 on average per year, while the cheapest to insure costs around £241, reports Wales Online.
