Women's insurance is likely to increase by 25 - 50 percent over the coming year. A huge insurance rise is imminent for women as the European commission has deemed gender inequality in insurance figures illegal.

For years young women have benefitted from cheaper car insurance quotes due to being a lower risk factor with regards to claims. However a recent finding from the European commission has shown that this gender inequality is illegal due to sex discrimination.
The outcome of this (and for the end user) will be higher insurance prices according to some executives. It has been reported that the cost of car insurance is set to raise by 25 - 50% of current prices for young women.
With women in recent years, already receiving the sharpest increases towards the cost of running their car, this is a further expense deemed inappropriate by some. The AA roadside assistance group indicate that premiums have already risen by almost 71% for 17-22 year olds.
In December 2012 insurers will be banned from using statistics based on gender to determine their prices. The question is, how will this affect you? Well, with sharper increases for women, the inevitable rising of insurance premiums for both men and women mean that owning a car is now becoming an expensive task.
