You find it very hard to save money on your car insurance premium? But is it really?

One of the key factors affecting your insurance bill is the car insurance group your vehicle belongs to.

If you're buying a car and you want to find the cheapest insurance policy, you may want to pick a band belonging to a low insurance group. Then you can see how much it will affect your insurance quotes.

Let us guide you through the ultimate car insurance group 12 review in 2024.

What are the car insurance groups?

Any motor car registered in the UK belongs to a specific car insurance category. Which group it belongs to depends on different criteria including the car’s value, performance, and the ease and cost of vehicle repairs.

This range of factors gives providers an indicative level of your car insurance risk.

Vehicle insurance groups are ranked by the Group Rating Panel (composed of members from the Association of British Insurers - ABI) and administered by Thatcham Research, an independent and neutral organisation paid by insurers as a group . The GRP provides the group rating scheme for private and light commercial vehicles.

Car groups range from Group 1, the cheapest cars to insure, to Group 50, the most expensive ones.

Good to know

The more rare, expensive or powerful your car is, the higher is the risk and the group - and so is your insurance premium!

What does car insurance group 12 mean?

If you’re willing to keep your car insurance costs down while buying an average car engine, you might go for a car in insurance Group 12. Vehicles in car insurance group 12 are still among the cheapest cars to insure although they would provide you with more power and potentially more space than car bands in lower insurance groups.

That said, there are plenty of other ways to cut your insurance bills such as paying a higher excess, building up a No Claim bonus, reducing your annual mileage or comparing car insurance policies by shopping around!
