The reason that women's claims are so much cheaper than men’s is because they have less serious accidents. Women have been proven to drive differently than men do. They tend to take fewer risks, don't drive as fast, and are less likely to be showing off to their mates with fancy driving manoeuvres.
Those companies that specialise only on woman drivers are traditionally very competitive, in order to get the best possible quote you should try a selection of differing insurance providers including several ‘woman only’ insurers.
