A “shocking trend” of people from ethnic minority backgrounds paying hundreds of pounds a year more for their car insurance than white people has been uncovered by Citizens Advice.
As part of a year-long investigation, the charity analysed 18,000 car insurance costs reported by people across England and Wales who came to Citizens Advice for debt help in 2021.
It found that, on average, people from ethnic minority backgrounds paid £250 a year more than white people – regardless of gender, age and income.
