Insurance group 12 categories

  • 12E: Surpasses the security requirements for this type of car, leading to a lower insurance group rating.
  • 12A: Meets the standard security requirements for this type of car.
  • 12D: Falls short of security requirements for this type of car, resulting in a higher insurance group rating.
  • 12U: Security standard is unacceptable. The insurer might require upgraded aftermarket security before providing coverage.
  • 12P: Provisional status. Insufficient data is available at launch for classification. This will likely be updated once Thatcham can evaluate the new car.
  • 12G: Grey import. Thatcham tests only officially sold UK cars, so imports are evaluated based on the insurer’s pricing.

Average insurance group 12e cost

To provide you with an idea of how much it may cost you to insure your insurance group 12 car, we ran several quotes to find an average figure. Based on our results, on average, you could insure your car with a comprehensive policy for the monthly price of £65.26, or an annual sum of £681.

Why are cars in group 12 on the cheaper side?

These cars score well in a number of factors that determine which group the car will fall under, including:

  • Relatively low market value
  • Smaller engine size
  • Good security and safety features
  • Inexpensive to repair
  • Low repair times

Which other factors affect my car insurance premium?

These three factors also have a big impact on the cost of your insurance:

  • Engine type and capacity. A large engine costs more to repair or replace, so it’s seen as a bigger risk to insurers. They will typically up your premium to reflect this.
  • Driver location. Insurers will use claims data to determine the risk of you making a claim, based on your address. For example, a 30-year-old in central London will pay £1,190 for insurance for a SEAT Arona Xcellence 1.0 TSI 115PS 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £688.
  • Your age. Insurers will also use your age to determine the likelihood of you making a claim, based on previous claims data. This can have a huge impact on your premium. For example, the average 20-year-old driver in London could pay £3,495 for the Chevrolet Cruze 1.4 LT 5d, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £978.

On top of these, there are many other things that can impact the price of your premiums. These include:

  • Your marital status
  • Your occupation
  • Your credit history
  • Your car’s safety rating, security and anti-theft precautions
  • Your car’s age and model
  • Your driving activity and history
  • The amount of years on no-claims discount

How can I save on my car insurance premiums?

If you choose a car in group 12 or lower, that’s a great way to reduce the cost of your car insurance. Thankfully, there are a lot of other things you can do to reduce your premium.

We’ve listed some of them below:

  • Be economical with your car usage. Your premium will go up and down based on how often you use your car. If you reduce your annual mileage, you can drop your premiums. So, consider opting for public transport or walking whenever you can.
  • Avoid any driving convictions. If you have convictions on your record, it will make your premium more expensive.
  • Install extra safety precautions. The safer you make your car, the lower the risk of you making a hefty claim. Insurers will see you as less of a risk and lower your premium accordingly.
  • Don’t just accept your renewal quote. When it’s time to renew, make sure to shop around for the cheapest deal. It’s rare that your existing insurer will offer you the lowest quote.
  • Pay annually rather than monthly. Some insurers will charge interest if you pay them in monthly instalments. You can avoid this by paying annually.
