Revealed: the cheapest cars to insure

According to Comparethemarket.com, where you live and where you store the car can have a big effect on the price of car insurance. The premium is affected by the risk of the vehicle being stolen and being bumped into when parked. Having access to a garage might lower the premium, but some insurers increase the price based on drivers misjudging the width of their car.

9. Mazda CX-5: £535.95

Your employment status will have also affect the premium. For example, you’ll pay more if you drive regularly as part of your job or if you carry expensive tools or equipment in your vehicle. Racing drivers pay more, as do journalists and window cleaners

8. Hyundai ix20: £531.21

Revealed: the cheapest cars to insure

Well-mannered and law-abiding citizens drive cars like the Hyundai ix20, which is why it’s a cheap car to drive. Having three points on your licence for a minor speeding offence will have a small impact, whereas a previous ban for drink-driving will make it hard to find a cheap policy. Some insurers will refuse to insure a previously convicted drink-driver.

7. Skoda Kodiaq: £515.48

Revealed: the cheapest cars to insure

The Skoda Kodiaq is one of the best crossovers on the market, but it’s not going to appeal to a young driver. For 17 to 25-year-olds, the cost of insurance can be as expensive as the vehicle itself, but the premiums will start to decrease from the age of 26.

6. Renault Kadjar: £507.89

2. Skoda Roomster: £481.44

Revealed: the cheapest cars to insure

The Roomster disappeared from the Skoda range in 2015, but its practicality and clever packaging means that it’s a popular used car. It’s good to know it’ll be cheap to insure.
