Where can I find my car’s insurance group?

You can check your car’s insurance group online using your vehicle registration number or model details.

There are various free tools available to help with this such as Compare the Market.


What if I want a car in a lower insurance group?

If you're comparing cars and want to find models that are cheaper to insure:

  • Search for cars in Groups 1 to 10.

  • Look for models with:

    • Smaller engine sizes (typically under 1.4L)

    • Strong security features (e.g., immobilisers, alarms)

    • Excellent safety ratings (look for Euro NCAP ratings)
