What is insurance group 23?

Before they are made available to buy, all vehicles are assigned an insurance group from 1 (cheapest) to 50 (most expensive). Therefore, the vehicles found in group 23 are among the cheapest to insure.

The cars that fall in this group usually score well in factors used to determine the group ratings, such as having a lower market value, good car safety and installed security features.

However, these aren’t the only factors that are used to determine your premium. There are a number of other personal factors that insurers take into account, such as your age, driving history and location.

Insurance group 23 categories

  • 23E: Surpasses the security requirements for this type of car, leading to a lower insurance group rating.
  • 23A: Meets the standard security requirements for this type of car.
  • 23D: Falls short of security requirements for this type of car, resulting in a higher insurance group rating.
  • 23U: Security standard is unacceptable. The insurer might require upgraded aftermarket security before providing coverage.
  • 23P: Provisional status. Insufficient data is available at launch for classification. This will likely be updated once Thatcham can evaluate the new car.
  • 23G: Grey import. Thatcham tests only officially sold UK cars, so imports are evaluated based on the insurer’s pricing.

Average insurance group 23e cost

To provide you with an idea of how much it may cost you to insure your insurance group 23 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 £60.74, or an annual sum of £685.

Why are cars in group 23 one of the cheapest?

Cars in insurance group 23 are usually cheaper cars to insure because of the following

  • They have a large range of safety features.
  • They have strong security features.
  • Their parts are inexpensive to source.
  • Their market value is on the lower side.
  • They have smaller less powerful engines.

What other factors affect your car insurance premium?

These three key factors have the biggest impact on the cost of your insurance:

  • Engine type and capacity. The larger and more powerful your engine, the more it’ll cost to repair or replace it. Your car insurance premium will rise to cover these higher expenses.
  • Driver location. Your location plays a key role in the likelihood that your car will be stolen or involved in an accident. Your insurers will consider this when calculating your premium. A 30-year-old in central London will pay £1,617 for insurance for a Volvo V70 2.0F Ocean Race 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £692.
  • Driver age. Insurers will use claims data to determine how likely someone your age is to make a claim. Your premium will be adjusted to reflect this risk. As an example, the average 20-year-old driver in London could pay £6,872 for the Audi A1 2.0 TDI Amplified Edition 3d, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £1,031.

There are a lot of other factors that can also impact the price of your premiums. These include the following:

  • Your marital status
  • Your car’s safety rating, security and anti-theft precautions
  • The likelihood of your specific vehicle being stolen
  • Your driving activity
  • Your driving history, including the length of your no-claims discount
  • Your credit history
  • Your occupation

How can I save on my car insurance premiums?

Choosing a car in insurance group 23 (or lower) is a good way to keep your car insurance costs down.

Here are some other things you can do to drive down the cost of your car insurance.

  • Drive safely. Having driving convictions on your record will make your premium more expensive.
  • Don’t use your car all of the time. Insurers will consider your annual mileage. If you can reduce this, your premium is likely to drop.
  • Pay annually. By paying annually, you eliminate the possibility of having to pay interest on your monthly instalments.
  • Install extra safety precautions. The safer you make your car, the cheaper your premium will be.
  • Don’t just accept your renewal quote. Use price comparison websites to shop around for the best deal every year. You’ll be surprised at how much you could save by assessing your options.
