The insurance group cheat sheet

Insurance groups run 1–50. Anything under 15 on a car over £2,500 is a win. The cars here are all known for low running costs — not just purchase price.

Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1, Peugeot 107, Kia Rio 1.25, Hyundai i10 — these are the names that come up every time someone asks for cheap-to-insure used cars. Use our <a href="/insurance-check">insurance price check tool</a> to compare any car by reg number.
