Let us guide you through the ultimate car insurance group 49 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.
