However, there are a number of other factors that affect the cost of your car insurance premiums, and one of the biggest is where you are in the UK. Where you live helps determine the level of risk that your car may be stolen or that you'll be involved in an accident, and this affects the cost of insurance.

What factors affect my Ford B-MAX insurance rate?
We've covered insurance groups, age and location. Here are some of the other factors that affect your insurance premium costs:
- Your marital status
- Your credit history and job

- The model of your car
- The age of your car
- Your car's security and any extra anti-theft precautions

How can I save on my Ford B-MAX premiums?
When searching for insurance, you'll want to find the best deal for a price that's within your budget. We've uncovered some tricks you can try to lower the cost of your premium, and we've listed them below.
- Limit your car usage (where possible). Occasionally deciding to walk or get public transport, rather than using your car, can help to save on your premiums.
- Pay annually rather than monthly. Whilst it might be scary to part with a large sum of money in one go, if you're able to pay annually you can save an average of £59.52 a year.
- Install extra safety precautions. The safer your car is, the less of a risk it will be for companies to insure. By adding extra safety measures, you're quite likely to lower your premium.
- Clear out the garage! If you have a garage – clear it out and park your car there. Parking your car in a garage reduces your risk to insurers and therefore reduces your premiums too.
- Consider any named drivers. Only name drivers on the insurance policy that regularly drive the vehicle, you can easily add on others at a later date or get them temporary cover.
- Don't just accept your renewal quote. When it's time for renewal, it's worth investing a couple of hours to shop around: there may be cheaper options out there.
Bottom line
As we've shown, factors like where you live, how old you are, whether you want to pay monthly or annually, and the specific variant of Ford B-MAX you're insuring all have a major impact on the cost of cover. In fact, the best prices we found ranged from £319.07 to £2,820.00, and that's based on shopping around to find a competitive deal. Unfortunately, if you don't shop around, there's every chance you could end up paying more than you have to.
