Quoted car insurance prices have been rising for people aged under 25 in recent months despite being on a downward trend more widely, according to an index.

Younger drivers experienced a 3% rise in the three months to July, even though quoted premiums for the market as a whole fell 1.4% in the same period, according to the research from Consumer Intelligence.

Its data indicated less competition being shown from telematics providers.

These providers monitor drivers' behaviour and can help younger motorists - who often pay the most for their cover due to higher risk factors for their age group-to access lower premiums.
