How much does a Ford cost to insure?
Ford car insurance prices vary. So, we’ve put together a guide of the more popular models and what you might expect to pay.
It's important to remember that your circumstances can also influence your Ford car insurance costs, including your:
- Age
- Postcode
- Driving experience.
- Claims history.
- Profession.
The insurance group a call falls into will also have an impact on the cost. Those closer to 50 will be more expensive while those closer to zero will be cheaper.
One of the most popular Fords on the market is the Fiesta. Of the different styles, the Zetec is one of the most sought after.
The Fiesta Zetec is in insurance group 5 and could cost you around £700* to insure.
This hatchback first came on the scene in 2017 and has proved to be a popular choice ever since.
For a family-friendly car, the Ford Focus is an ever-popular all-rounder. Again, the Zetec version of the Focus seems to be the most popular. Ford car insurance for this model is on average £567* per year.
On the higher end of the scale is the Ford Mustang GT with an average insurance cost of £1,047*. It sits in insurance group 43. This could be due in part to its famous name and scarcity in the UK.
*These prices are an average based on the model, and all our customer quotes from 3/10/22 - 3/1/23. This includes different locations, driving background and other factors. Your own quote could be cheaper or more expensive depending on your personal circumstances.
The history of Ford
The Ford Motor Company was formed by Henry Ford in 1903. The Ford Model A was the first car to be sold, but it was the far more famous Ford Model T that really got things moving.
Introduced in 1908, the Model T became the first vehicle to roll off an assembly line when Henry Ford invested this ground-breaking concept in 1913.
In time, Ford reduced the period it took to fit the chassis from 12.5 hours to 1.5 hours, making the car much cheaper to make, and more affordable to buy. By 1927, when production of the Model T stopped, more than 15 million had been sold worldwide.
Since the 1920s Ford has been in the business of buying up rival companies. This approach started with Lincoln in 1922 and more recently has included both Jaguar and Aston Martin – both were subsequently sold in the 1990s.
Over the years Ford branched out, making everything from boats and lorries to incubators. But it was iconic models such as the Ford Mustang in the US and the Ford Cortina in the UK that carried it through the modern age.
Most recently the company has experienced difficult times, highlighted by the fact that it sold fewer cars in 2020 than in 2019, and announced it was scaling back car production in the US. With the Ford Focus and other models, it remains a force in the UK.
