Press Release Summary: Despite having a flawless driving license and no motoring or
drug convictions to speak of, squeaky clean Daniel Radcliffe has to pay nearly four
times (367%) more than Babyshambles front-man and notorious hell-raiser Pete Doherty
for his car insurance, says Confused.com.


Press Release Body: Based on 18 year-old Radcliffe registering his Fiat Punto at his
Fulham address, and on 29 year-old Pete Doherty registering his Jaguar X-Type at his
Wiltshire abode, Confused.com found that their annual
car insurance quotes differed by up to
£3,451.69, or 508%, in some instances. The colossal disparity between the stars'
quotes is all the more shocking when taking into account Pete Doherty's convictions
for a string of drug and driving offences.

Debra Williams, managing director of Confused.com, says: "It is frustrating that
Daniel Radcliffe, who owns a modest car and lives a 'clean' lifestyle, is expected
to pay a high price for his
car insurance, just because he is under the
age of 25 and living in London. Despite his rock 'n' roll lifestyle, string of
convictions, and swanky Jaguar X-Type, Pete Doherty's insurance is, on average,
£2,680 per year cheaper than his youthful celebrity counterpart, predominantly
because he is nearly a decade older.

"Daniel needs to avoid falling foul of typical teenage misdemeanours, such as
speeding and driving without due care and attention. Keeping his license clean,
making sure he builds up his no claims bonus, will definitely enable Daniel to reap
the benefits in the next few years."
