What is insurance group 28?

When it comes to insurance, all vehicles are assigned an insurance group from 1 (cheapest) to 50 (most expensive), and this helps work out the cost of your car insurance premiums.

With insurance groups ranging from 1-50, vehicles in group 28 typically cost slightly above average to insure. The cars that fall in this group usually score OK in factors used to determine the group ratings, such as having good security features, car safety ratings and possessing less powerful engines.

However, insurers take into account other factors, such as your age, location and driving history, so it’s always important to compare policies to find one that works for you.

Insurance group 28 categories

  • 28E: Surpasses the security requirements for this type of car, leading to a lower insurance group rating.
  • 28A: Meets the standard security requirements for this type of car.
  • 28D: Falls short of security requirements for this type of car, resulting in a higher insurance group rating.
  • 28U: Security standard is unacceptable. The insurer might require upgraded aftermarket security before providing coverage.
  • 28P: Provisional status. Insufficient data is available at launch for classification. This will likely be updated once Thatcham can evaluate the new car.
  • 28G: Grey import. Thatcham tests only officially sold UK cars, so imports are evaluated based on the insurer’s pricing.

Average insurance group 28e cost

To provide you with an idea of how much it may cost you to insure your insurance group 28 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 £70.46, or an annual sum of £736.

Why are cars in group 28 expensive to insure?

Cars in insurance group 28 usually rate as slightly above average for the following features.

  • Market value
  • Cost of sourcing parts
  • Size of engine
  • Repair time

In some cases, they may be lacking when it comes to security and safety features too.

What other factors affect your car insurance premium?

Along with your car’s insurance group, here are three more factors that have a significant impact on the cost of your insurance:

  • Engine type and capacity. The bigger your engine, the more you’re likely to pay for insurance. That’s because it will cost more to repair or replace.
  • Driver location. Your location plays a role in the likelihood of your car being stolen or damaged. Insurers use previous claims data to calculate this and adjust your premium accordingly. As an example, a 30-year-old in central London will pay £1,402 for insurance for a BMW x1 xDrive20i SE 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £743.
  • Driver age. Statistically, your age plays a huge role in your likelihood of making a claim, with the youngest drivers being the most likely. That’s why younger drivers pay higher premiums. The average 20-year-old driver in London could pay £5,754 for the Jaguar XF 2.0d (180bhp) Prestige 4d Auto, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £1,199.

On top of these, there are plenty of other factors that can also impact the price of your premiums.

These include the following:

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

How can I save on my car insurance premiums?

Choosing a car with a low insurance group is a great way to reduce the price of your premium.

But there are other things you can do to lower the cost of your car insurance:

  • Drive safely. It may sound obvious but having driving convictions on your record will make your premium skyrocket. Criminal convictions can affect your premium too.
  • Reduce your annual mileage. Motorists who use their car less often are perceived as less of a risk to insurers and may receive a lower premium. So, consider where you could opt to take public transport or walk to keep your mileage, and premium, lower.
  • Pay annually. By paying annually, you may end up with a cheaper deal as you won’t have to pay interest on monthly instalments.
  • Install extra safety precautions. The safer you make your car, the less of a risk you’re perceived to be, the lower your premium will drop.
  • Shop around. When it’s time for renewal, make sure you compare your options. You’ll be surprised by how much you can save by switching to a different insurer.
