Every car sold in the UK is assigned to one of 50 insurance groups by Thatcham Research and the ABI. Group 1 typically represents the lowest insurance cost, and group 50 the highest. Insurers generally use these groups as one factor when calculating your premium, alongside your age, location, driving history, and other personal details. For example, the base Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 typically sits around Group 2, while the Corsa Electric moves up to Groups 24 to 25.

How Much Does Vauxhall Car Insurance Cost?

Vauxhall models typically start at Group 2 (Corsa) and stretch up to Group 50 for older performance variants, so insurance costs can vary significantly depending on which Vauxhall you drive. The Corsa is one of the UK's most popular first cars for a reason. The base trim sits in one of the lowest groups on the scale.

Insurance groups are only one of several factors. Insurers may also weigh up your age, where you live, your annual mileage, your driving history, and any modifications to the car. Two drivers insuring the same Vauxhall could receive very different quotes.

Whether you choose fully comprehensive, third party fire and theft, or third party only cover can also affect your premium. Comprehensive cover is often competitively priced compared to third party only.

The most reliable way to find your price is to compare quotes from multiple insurers.

Which Vauxhall Models May Be Cheapest to Insure?

Based on typical Thatcham insurance group ratings, these four Vauxhall models sit in the lowest group bands and may be worth shortlisting if keeping the premium down is a priority.

  1. 1. Corsa (Groups 2-35)

    Typically the most affordable Vauxhall to insure at the base trim. The Corsa 1.0 starts at Group 2, and it is one of the UK's most popular first cars. Groups climb rapidly on higher trims and diesel variants.

  2. 2. Viva (Group 3)

    A city car that typically sits at Group 3 across most trims. The Viva is discontinued but still widely available on the used market.

  3. 3. Adam (Groups 3-16)

    Another discontinued Vauxhall that starts in low single digits. A compact city car with plenty of personalisation options in its day.

  4. 4. Mokka X (Groups 5-15)

    A compact SUV in mid to low single-digit groups. A practical option if you want a higher driving position without a big group jump.

Vauxhall Car Insurance for New Drivers

Vauxhall has several models that may be practical first cars for new drivers. The Corsa (from Group 2) and Viva (Group 3) both sit at the bottom of the Thatcham scale and are widely available on the used market. The Corsa is one of the UK's most popular first cars.

A telematics policy could help new drivers demonstrate safe driving habits, which may lead to lower premiums over time. Black box devices or app-based policies typically monitor braking, cornering, and time of day, and reward safe driving with a lower renewal price.

If you are aged 17 to 21, see our dedicated young drivers insurance guide for more tips.

University students may also find our student car insurance guide helpful, particularly for advice on registering the car at the address where it is kept most often.

How to Get Cheaper Vauxhall Car Insurance

Seven practical steps that could help reduce your Vauxhall insurance premium.

1

Compare quotes from multiple insurers

Prices for the same car and driver can vary significantly between providers. Comparing quotes is typically the most effective way to find a competitive deal.

2

Start with a base Corsa or Viva

The Corsa in base trim starts at Group 2, and the Viva sits at Group 3. Both are among the cheapest cars to insure across the entire UK market.

3

Weigh up the Corsa Electric

The Corsa Electric (Groups 24-25) sits noticeably higher than the base petrol Corsa (Group 2). Worth quoting both if you are open to an electric car, but be aware the group will typically move up.

4

Consider a telematics policy

A black box or app-based policy could reward safe driving with lower premiums, particularly for younger drivers.

5

Increase your voluntary excess

A higher excess typically means a lower premium, but make sure you could afford to pay it if you needed to make a claim.

6

Think about where you park

Parking off-road, in a garage, or on a driveway could reduce your premium compared to parking on the street.

7

Pay annually if you can

Monthly instalments could add interest to the overall cost, so paying upfront may save you money over the year.
