Cheapest job titles for car insurance
Updated: Wednesday, 7 September 2022
Insurance companies analyse lots of factors when calculating the price of your car insurance, including what your job is.
What your job occupation is and how you do your job (especially if you drive regularly for your company or carry expensive equipment) can have an impact on the premium quoted by insurance providers.
Some types of employment are considered a greater risk than others, which is why car insurance can be cheaper for some job titles and more expensive for others.

Occupations for cheap car insurance
When getting a car insurance quote, you can adjust and tweak your job title so long as the stated occupation accurately describes your job. Be as specific as you can be, as this could result in a lower insurance premium.
For example, if you work as a Nurse, you might get a different car insurance premium quote for more specific roles such as: Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Certified Nursing Assistant (CAN), Public Health Nurse (PHN) or Occupational Health Nurse. If you aren’t accurate and honest with your insurer about your job, you could invalidate your cover.

Is car insurance cheaper if I'm unemployed?
As with describing your job accurately to your insurer, you should similarly be honest if you are unemployed. Be sure to be accurate though, as data suggests that incorrectly identifying yourself as ‘unemployed’ if you are actually retired, a student or a housewife/house husband, could lead to you paying much more than you should for car insurance.
