Peugeot car insurance

Peugeot started out as a coffee mill and bicycle manufacturer (their famous silver frames are still popular today), and they even made pepper grinders before embarking on car production in 1889. 

Nearly 100 years later the company enjoyed massive success with the 205 hatchback, which helped the company move into the lucrative small car market. Today the 205 legacy lives on in the 208 and 308 hatchbacks.

Let us help you get a quote for your car that's cheaper or the same as going direct.

The 106 was, and still is, very popular with young drivers, as a small car with a relatively small engine which makes it perfect as a first car. With its relatively low insurance groups and engine sizes, it is often among the cheaper cars to insure, compared to other cars with higher insurance groups and engine sizes.

Launched in June 2005, the Peugeot 107 was the replacement for the 106. The Active model is considered the most popular as it's available with more optional extras, such as air conditioning & remote central locking. With typically small engines (around 1.0 litre), low scores in the car tax brackets (typically A-B), and not costing the earth when new, this is a perfect first car or a great runaround.

The table below looks at the range of the body types of the Peugeot 205, as well as their typical car insurance group range and engine capacity. The tax bracket hasn't been included as, due to the age of the car, car tax is calculated in a different way, and not based on emissions like cars are now. The size of the engine and group range could affect the cost of your car insurance, so it's worth knowing where yours sits.

The 206 was a big car for Peugeot, and in 2006 it became their best selling car of all time, nearly topping the 8 million made mark. In 1999 they even entered the rally world by creating the 206 WRC, and a year later in 2000 they won both the drivers' and manufacturers' championships, going on to win the same accolade in 2002.

The table below looks at some of the more recent specifications for the Peugeot 206, including the typical car insurance group range, engine capacity and tax bracket range you can expect them to fall into. Usually, the higher the insurance group & bigger the engine, the greater the premium.

In 2006 the 207 was made to replace the Peugeot 206. Available as a three or five door hatchback, all versions are front engine, and front wheel drive.

The table below looks at some of the different trims available for the Peugeot 207 SW. You can use this table to see how some of the different specifications available fall into different car insurance group ranges, which could affect your premium. Typically the higher the insurance group, the higher the car insurance premium.

The 3008's most recent award win was the What Car? car of the year 2011 for best crossover. Depending on the specification you buy or already have, you could have a carload of gadgets including a heads up display, Peugeot connect navigation, Peugeot connect sos & assistance, and all whilst enjoying pretty respectable mpg.

It's often the case that the higher the insurance group, the higher the premium, so the table below could help give you an idea how each specification could affect your car insurance.

Despite ceasing production in 2002, seeing a 306 driving around the streets is still a fairly common sight. Now that they're a bit older, they make a great first car for a new or young driver as they're typically not too expensive to buy and they're available in an engine as small as a 1.4. Still packing some punch, they're not too powerful which is great for car insurance premiums.

The table below shows some of the different body types for the 307, as well as their engine size range, typical car insurance group range and their tax brackets. The engine size and car insurance group could affect your car insurance premium. Generally, the higher the number the higher the premium.

The Peugeot 308 comes with some pretty nifty technology, like start stop, Peugeot connect navigation and separate driver and passenger climate control.

Both the engine size and insurance group could affect your car insurance premium, so it's worth checking to see where your car fits in the range. Typically, the bigger the engine and higher the insurance group, the higher the premium.

Retired after 9 years in production, the 406 achieved fame in French cinema featuring in a movie series called Taxi. With various incarnations in each of the four Taxi films, the car also featured in Le Boulet in 2002 being the main car in a police chase through Paris.

The table below shows the different body shapes that were available for the 406 range. It looks at the ranges of engine capacity & car tax as well as the typical car insurance group ratings. The engine size and insurance group could affect your car insurance, so it's worth checking to see where your car sits.

Launching in November 2009, the 5008 Allure has some nice little touches inside, like fold down tables for people sitting in the back, just like the kind you get on the train. Depending on the trim you go for, it can come with some really nice technology too like a heads up display, Peugeot connect and start stop technology.

You can use this table to see the different types of trim available for the 5008, as well as the typical car insurance groups they fall into, car tax bands and engine capacity. Typically, the higher the insurance group, the higher the premium, so depending on which model you opt for, it could have an impact on the cost of your car insurance.

The 508 began production in 2010 entering the large family car market. Depending on which specification you opt for, a brand new model can cost upwards of £19,000, but even the most basic model (508 Saloon) comes with cruise control, remote central locking, and driver, passenger, side and curtain airbags.

The table below looks at some of the different models available within the 508 range, their typical car insurance group, engine capacity & tax bracket range. Typically, a bigger engine and higher car insurance group will mean a higher car insurance premium, so it's worth knowing where your car sits so you can have an idea how your premium could be affected.

2010 was a great year for the RCZ: not only was the car launched but it also went on to win two awards including the Top Gear 2010 Coupe of the Year award. The cheapest model in the range will set you back nearly £22k from new and comes with features like dual zone air conditioning, rear parking aids and 18" alloys.

The table below looks at the different specifications available for the RCZ, including the typical car insurance group range, engine capacity and tax bracket range. Usually the higher the insurance group and bigger the engine, the more costly the car insurance, so it's worth bearing in mind if you're coming to renewal, or about to purchase a car.

Before embarking on car production in 1889, Peugeot started life as a coffee mill and bicycle manufacturer, although the car and bicycle companies split in 1926.

The Lion has been the company's symbol since 1848, and it first appeared on a car in 1906. It was redesigned in 2010 to mark Peugeot's 200th anniversary.

In addition to its fleet of cars, vans and bikes, Peugeot also manufactures a range of pepper grinders.

In 2012, Peugeot was crowned Green Fleet City Car Manufacturer of the Year, and it's been voted European Car of the Year 3 times; firstly in 1969 for the 504, again in 1988 for the 405 and most recently in 2002 for the 307.
