Inflation and the rising cost of living have affected virtually every industry in Spain, and unfortunately, car insurance is no exception. This expense has always been relative cheap in Spain compared to many other countries in Europe but in the last year, this necessary evil has increased by 18%, according to data from Rastreator.

The price hike has been applied to all policies across the board, including fully comprehensive and third party, with the average car insurance bill now coming to 767 euros per year.

The head of Rastreator Insurance, Víctor López, confirmed that the cost of living has increased "generally in all areas" and that, undeniably, this also affects car insurance. However, "it is one of the products where there has been less variation in prices, since the final cost depends above all on the profile of the driver and the vehicle."

Generally speaking, younger drivers and those with a sketchy driving history will pay a premium in Spain for car insurance.

It’s not all bad news though and some smart shopping could save you a fortune, since insurance costs vary wildly across the different makes and models.
