What are the common types of insurance?

Third party is the most basic level and covers other people, their cars as well as property and animals. TPFT includes this and if your car is damaged by fire or stolen. The highest level of cover is comprehensive and includes all of this and any damage to your car. 

What does Ford Fiesta insurance cost?

Cars are rated on their insurance costs and placed into a group between 1-50. Group 1 has the cheapest insurance rates and group 50 is the most expensive. Depending on their model and specification, Ford Fiesta falls into groups 2-16 making Ford Fiesta insurance costs some of the cheapest around. 

What impacts Ford Fiesta insurance costs? 

Personal factors such as your age, postcode and driving history will impact your quotes. Your car’s age, engine size and whether or not it has any safety features also matters. 

How can I reduce my insurance costs? 

Shopping around and comparing quotes is the best way to find a good deal. However, there are also some strategies such as adding a more experienced driver to your policy or parking it off road at night that will have a positive impact on the final quote. 

Why does car insurance reduce as the car gets older? 

As cars age, they lose value which means the potential payout after an accident also decreases. For this reason, it’s cheaper to insure. Similarly, electric and smaller cars are cheaper to insure as providers look favourably on cars with small engines. 

My car is old, do I need full coverage? 

The level of coverage you buy is up to you. Usually drivers drop full coverage if the insurance cost is more expensive than the payout of an accident would be. 

What are policy add-ons?

You can choose to add on additional extras to cover you in the event of misfuelling, lost keys, vandalism or accidental damage. Uninsured driver cover will also protect you if you’re involved in an accident with a driver who isn’t insured and it’s their fault. While it’s not a legal requirement to purchase add-ons, it can be a wise investment.
