AA suggests price comparison sites have affected insurance for young drivers price

The impact of price comparison sites on the insurance industry has been a rise in fraudulent claims, say a spokesperson for AA.

According to the director of AA Insurance Simon Douglas, the price of premiums has gone up the fastest on such websites and he believes there is a connection.

"I have little doubt that the growth of price comparison sites has also encouraged fraud, although most people wouldn't see it as such," he said.

Mr Douglas explained that it is far easier to manipulate information about a driver's history on a computer screen than over the phone with a customer service representative.

He suggested that cheap premiums are leading to a greater number of claims and insurance firms are "getting wise" to this trend.

Last week, research firm Defaqto revealed that 94 per cent of insurance policies offered in 2010 offer no protection against road rage incidents, an issue that often particularly concerns the over-55s, according to a study by the organisation.
