Young women lose out

Motor insurance prices are up by an average of 3.3% since the introduction of gender-neutral pricing, according to an AA Ireland survey. It found that women under 25 generally saw a price increase of more than 20%, even 50% in some cases. However, young men under 25 saw a decrease of 26%. For the slightly older category, women aged 26 to 29 saw an increase of 3%, while men saw a decrease of 19%.
