Insurance group 18 categories

  • 18E: Surpasses the security requirements for this type of car, leading to a lower insurance group rating.
  • 18A: Meets the standard security requirements for this type of car.
  • 18D: Falls short of security requirements for this type of car, resulting in a higher insurance group rating.
  • 18U: Security standard is unacceptable. The insurer might require upgraded aftermarket security before providing coverage.
  • 18P: Provisional status. Insufficient data is available at launch for classification. This will likely be updated once Thatcham can evaluate the new car.
  • 18G: Grey import. Thatcham tests only officially sold UK cars, so imports are evaluated based on the insurer’s pricing.

Average insurance group 18e cost

To provide you with an idea of how much it may cost you to insure your insurance group 18 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 £60.76, or an annual sum of £607.

Why are cars in group 18 on the cheaper side?

Cars in insurance group 18 are usually the cheaper cars to insure because they score well for the following factors:

  • Good security features
  • Good safety features
  • Cheap parts to source
  • Cheap cost of repair
  • Fast repair times
  • Smaller engine
  • Low market value

Which other factors affect your car insurance premium?

These three factors will also be considered when insurers are calculating the cost of your insurance.

  • Engine type and capacity. The larger and more powerful that your engine is, the more it will cost to repair or replace. With a smaller engine, you’re likely to be seen as less of a financial risk to an insurer. In most cases, this will be reflected with a lower premium.
  • Driver location. Vehicles are more likely to be damaged or stolen in certain areas of the UK. That’s why insurers ask for your address and alter your premium based on this. As an example, a 30-year-old in central London will pay £942 for insurance for a Nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCi N-Tec+ 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £613.
  • Driver age. Your age has a significant impact on the car insurance premiums offered to you. Younger drivers are more likely to make claims, so are typically offered larger quotes. The average 20-year-old driver in London could pay £2,356 for the 1.4 TSI SE 5d, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £798.

There are a lot of other factors that can also impact the price of your premiums. Here are some more to bear in mind.

  • Your marital status
  • Your credit history and job
  • Your car’s safety rating
  • Your car’s security feature
  • Your car’s anti-theft precautions
  • The model and age of your car
  • Your driving activity
  • Your driving history
  • Your no-claims discount

How can I save on my car insurance premiums?

Driving a car in insurance group 18 (or lower) is an intelligent way to reduce the price of your premium. However, it’s not the only way.

There are a number of other things you can do to cut your car insurance premium, and we’ve listed some of them below:

  • Avoid driving convictions. These will send your premium rocketing since they provide proof of unsafe driving.
  • Be economical about your car usage. The fewer miles you drive per year, the bigger discount an insurer may offer you on your premium.
  • Pay annually rather than monthly. By paying annually, you avoid paying interest on monthly instalments.
  • Install extra safety precautions. The safer you make your car, the lower your premium can drop.
  • Shop around for the best deal every year. Insurance companies don’t offer the best deal to existing customers. So, instead of blindly accepting your renewal quote, look around for the best deal on the market.
