Car insurance groups can be confusing to the uninitiated, if you have never heard of them before or need to find out which group your car will fall under, this article has you covered.
What is a car insurance group
If you’re buying a brand-new or second-hand car, you should check which insurance group your car will fall under. Lower groups are the least valuable and easiest to repair meaning you will pay less on premiums for a lower group based solely on your car alone.
Here is a 2021 graph of the insurance groups and what the average annual premium range was.
| Car insurance group | Average annual premiums |
|---|---|
| 1 to 10 | £500 – £550 |
| 11 to 20 | £550 – £600 |
| 21 to 30 | £600 – £650 |
| 31 to 40 | £750 – £800 |
| 41 to 50 | £900 – £1000 |
Young drivers tend to insure in groups 1 – 10 which in turn raises the premium for this bracket
