Insurance group 44 categories

  • 44E: Surpasses the security requirements for this type of car, leading to a lower insurance group rating.
  • 44A: Meets the standard security requirements for this type of car.
  • 44D: Falls short of security requirements for this type of car, resulting in a higher insurance group rating.
  • 44U: Security standard is unacceptable. The insurer might require upgraded aftermarket security before providing coverage.
  • 44P: Provisional status. Insufficient data is available at launch for classification. This will likely be updated once Thatcham can evaluate the new car.
  • 44G: Grey import. Thatcham tests only officially sold UK cars, so imports are evaluated based on the insurer’s pricing.

Average insurance group 44e cost

To provide you with an idea of how much it may cost you to insure your insurance group 44 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 £200.99, or an annual sum of £2,423.

Why are cars in group 44 more expensive?

Cars in insurance group 44 typically have the following:

  • High market values
  • Expensive parts and repairs
  • Large powerful engines
  • Long repair times

What other factors affect your car insurance premium?

Along with your car’s insurance group, these three factors will also have a huge impact on the cost of your insurance:

  • Engine type and capacity. The larger your engine, the more you’re likely to pay for insurance. This is because larger engines cost more to repair and replace.
  • Driver location. Insurers factor in the likelihood of you making a claim based on your address. Your premium will be higher if a lot of people in your area make claims. As an example, a 30-year-old in central London will pay £5,690 for insurance for a BMW 7-Series 725Ld auto 4d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £2,690.
  • Driver age. Your age also determines the cost of your insurance premium. The youngest drivers will pay more because they are statistically more likely to make a claim. For example, the average 20-year-old driver in London could pay £32,897 for the Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 GT 2d, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £4,604.

There are many other factors that can impact the price of your premiums.

These include the following:

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

How can I save on my car insurance premiums?

Choosing to drive a car in a lower car insurance group is a great way to lower your car insurance.

On top of that, there are other things you can do to keep your car insurance lower.

  • Drive safely. It may sound obvious but making a claim or having driving convictions on your record will make your premium more expensive.
  • Don’t use your car all of the time. You could save money on your insurance by reducing the number of miles you drive every year. Insurers tend to offer lower premiums to drivers who register a lower annual mileage.
  • Pay annually. By paying annually, you often end up with a much 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 you’ll pay to insure it.
  • Compare providers every year. When it’s time to renew your insurance, make sure you compare your options. You’ll usually be able to save a fair amount by switching providers.
