Lada car insurance

Finding the cheapest and best car insurance is never easy. This is especially true if you are trying to insure a Russian car that’s rarely driven on British roads. This independent guide is here to save you time and help you find the best and cheapest car insurance for your LADA.  So, here’s what you need to know before choosing the right insurance…

Who makes LADA cars? 

This line of cars is manufactured by a Russian company, AvtoVAZ, now owned by the popular French group, Renault. Since the beginning of 2021,  the Lada line has been integrated with the sister brand, Dacia. 

Can you get LADA car insurance in the UK? 

LADA Cars stopped being sold in the UK in 1997. However, you can still find insurance quotes and companies that cover LADA models. While it’s not easy, it’s not impossible. 

What Insurance Group does my LADA car fall under? 

LADA cars are rare, and the most commonly insured model is the Lada Niva Estate. This SUV model falls into insurance group 17. 

Are LADA cars expensive to insure? 

At the end of the day,  shopping around is the smartest way to guarantee you’ve found the best and cheapest quote for your LADA model.  Since the most popular LADA  model belongs to the insurance group 17,  it’s not as expensive to insure as luxury, or other rare cars. 

What type of car insurance should I choose? 

To legally drive a motorised vehicle on British roads, the car must be insured. There are three types of car insurance available for UK drivers.  Choose from third-party, third party fire and theft, and fully comprehensive. The legal minimum is third-party insurance. 

Is it cheaper to insure with third-party insurance? 

Third-party insurance isn’t always necessarily cheaper. Older cars can be more expensive to insure because they typically lack modern safety features, driving up the average premium. It’s worth noting that with this type of insurance, the pay-out covers the other driver in the event of an accident.  

Should I get classic car insurance for my Lada? 

This can be a cheaper option than standard insurance policies because most insurers view classic cars as a lower risk overall. This is because they typically have lower speed limits. Classic car owners tend to take better care of their cars too. If your LADA model is older than 15 years, and costs more than £15000,  then you may be eligible for classic car insurance. 

Are there ways to reduce my  LADA insurance? 

Sure. There are quite a few ways to lower the costs of your insurance. Overall, the less risky you are as a driver and car owner, the lower your premium.  Adding an extra layer of security to your car can lower the amount you need to pay.

Don’t underestimate the impact of your annual mileage too. Insurers may question your driving experience if your mileage is set too low.  Adding another driver to your insurance can also reduce your quote.
