Peugeot 207 insurance groups and cost by driver’s age

When it comes to working out the cost of your car insurance, all vehicles are given a specific insurance group that ranges from 1 (cheapest) to 50 (most expensive), which helps determine the cost of your premium. Peugeot 207 models range from insurance groups 5 to 28, so the cost of insurance can vary significantly. For example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay around £498 for cover on a Peugeot 207 1.4 HDi Urban 3d, or around £743 for a Peugeot 207 1.6 16V GTi THP 175bhp 3d.

How can I save on my Peugeot 207 premiums?

No one wants to pay through the nose for their car insurance, so we’ve devised a list of tips that could help to keep your premiums affordable. Our advice includes:

• Pay annually rather than monthly. By paying annually, you could save an average of £66.33 a year.
• Make yourself a secure investment. The more you appeal to your provider, the lower your premiums may become. You can do this by keeping a clean history of no claims and a good credit rating.
• Be economical about your car usage. By opting for public transport or walking, you will keep your mileage, and your premiums, lower – plus, you’ll save money on petrol!
• Don’t just accept your renewal quote. Renewal quotes aren’t always the best option out there, so make sure you look around before accepting yours.
• Install extra safety precautions. Providers don’t like to insure risks, so the safer and more secure you can make your vehicle, the lower your premiums may be.
• Avoid driving convictions. Driving convictions hike up your premiums, so do your best to avoid any.
