Every car insurance group has a number associated to it. If you look
in one of the many car magazines or car buyer guides, you will have
come across the Insurance Group Number. In order for Car Insurance
companies to evaluate each car and how the big the risk is for them,
the ABI (Association of British Insurers) devised a method of
assigning every car a group number. There are currently 20 different
Car Insurance groups and generally speaking the higher the Car
Insurance group numbers the more expensive, faster or bigger the
engine is for that car. It also follows that the higher your Car
Insurance group number, the higher the cost of your Car Insurance
quote.
Most Car Insurance companies will use the Car Insurance group number
as part of their rating process when trying to determine a price for
your Car Insurance quote. They will often combine the Car Insurance
Group number with other factors such as driver age or driving
experience in order to fully appreciate the risk associated with a
specific person driving a specific car.
Ratings are generally in line with the purchase price of the car as
that determines the cost of repairs. ‘Difficult to repair’ imports
may attract a higher rating than a similarly manufactured car from
principal foreign makers. So Car insurance Groups is very useful
parameter in setting the car insurance rates. Decide your car
insurance group and associated car insurance premium before you
actually pay. |
