How much is Nissan car insurance?

When working out how much car insurance is going to cost you, it’s wise to look at insurance groups. Ranging from 1 to 50, these groups highlight how expensive insurance will be – with cars in group 1 having the cheapest rates and cars in group 50 having the most expensive rates. 

Smaller Nissans with less powerful engines usually fall into lower insurance groups, which means they’re usually cheaper to insure.

Of course, a wide range of other factors will also influence the cost of your Nissan insurance, including your location, your age, your occupation and your driving record.

How is my Nissan car insurance calculated?

Insurance providers take a few different things into consideration when calculating your quote. This includes your age, driving experience, your car’s age, its engine size, how many miles you drive a year and what you primarily use your car for. 

What are the three most common types of car insurance?

All drivers must have third party cover which protects other people, their cars and property. You can also get third party, fire and theft or comprehensive cover. The former includes everything that third party covers as well as if your car is damaged by fire or stolen. The latter is the highest level of insurance and includes all of this and covers any damage to your car. 

Is an older Nissan cheaper to insure?

Yes, older cars tend to lose their value as they age. For this reason, the potential payout in the event of an accident is less, which does mean older Nissans do tend to be a bit cheaper to insure.

Is there a way to reduce the cost of my Nissan car insurance? 

Comparing quotes is the best way to find an affordable deal for your car insurance. However, your quote could also be reduced by adding a more experienced driver to your policy, parking your vehicle off road at night or reducing the annual miles that you drive. 

Will my own age affect the cost of my Nissan insurance?

Yes, unfortunately younger drivers usually have to pay the highest rates of insurance. This is because once you reach the age of 25, auto premiums begin to decrease. Drivers between the ages of 40 and 60 usually have the best rates of insurance. 

What are policy add-ons?

Policy add-ons allow you to purchase additional cover for certain situations like losing keys, putting the wrong fuel in or for personal accidents. These aren’t legally required but it’s wise to consider what you may need.
