How much does a Nissan cost to insure?

Your personal circumstances will influence the cost of your Nissan car insurance. For example, your age, location and driving history will all have an effect. And so will the model you choose.

The good news is that Nissan insurance costs can be made more affordable due to the availability of parts for repair.

These are the average car insurance prices* for a few of the most popular Nissan models:

Model Average price*
Qashqai Tekna dCi
£583
Micra S
£1,432
Juke Tekna

How can I save on Nissan car insurance?

Your age, postcode and driving history are all factors which influence the price you pay for Nissan car insurance. While these aren’t easy to change, there are a few other ways you can potentially bring your insurance cost down:

Don’t accept your renewal price - shop around and compare quotes

Insurers are in competition with each other, which you can use to your benefit. Shopping around and comparing Nissan quotes is the best way to find the right deal. Our data suggests that 18*** days before renewal is the best time to shop.

Increase the voluntary excess

Excess is the amount you pay yourself in the event of making a claim. The most common excess amount is £250***. But by increasing your excess, you take on more of the risk, which in turn could lower your prices. It’s important that it’s an amount you can afford to pay if it comes to making a claim.

Park your car securely

If you park your car on the street, it could be more exposed to theft, vandalism or being hit by a careless driver. Parking off-road - ideally somewhere secure like a garage - means your car is more safe, and could lead to a reduction in your car insurance premium.

Add a named driver with a good driving history

If you add a named driver to your policy, you spread the risk for your insurer. Adding an experienced driver can be particularly useful for young drivers, who traditionally pay the most for car insurance. But you must be honest - the person who drives the car most needs to be the main driver. If you claim otherwise, this is a type of fraud known as ‘fronting’, which is illegal and can invalidate your insurance.

What group is my Nissan in?

When considering which Nissan model to buy, it’s worth researching what your car insurance is likely to cost. Checking the model’s car insurance group should give you an idea. Every car will be in one of 50 car insurance groups. These groups are broadly ranked by insurance risk, with insurers generally charging higher prices for higher groups.

Here are some of the factors which affect a car’s insurance grouping:

  • The value of the car: More expensive cars usually fall into higher groups.
  • The vehicle’s security features: A car will be more likely to fall into a lower group if it has features which deter theft.
  • Its repair costs: Vehicles which are more costly to fix will be in higher groups.
  • How powerful it is: Faster cars with rapid acceleration and high top speeds are usually in higher groups. This is because they’re at greater risk of being involved in a collision.
  • How safe the car is: Safety features which reduce the chances of collision - such as ABS brakes - mean a car is more likely to be in a lower group.

What insurance can I get for my Nissan?

When it comes to the level of cover, you’ll have 3 choices for your Nissan:

  • Third-party only car insurance is the minimum amount of cover required to drive legally in the UK. It protects you in the event of a collision with a third party, either causing damage to their vehicle or injury to them. But if your Nissan is damaged in an incident, you won’t be covered for repairs. It also won’t be protected against fire damage or theft.
  • Third-party, fire and theft insurance doesn't offer as much protection as comprehensive cover. But it does protect you against claims made by third parties, either for injury or damage to their vehicles. Your Nissan will only be covered if it’s stolen or damaged by fire.
  • Comprehensive car insurance gives the greatest amount of cover. It covers injuries to third parties and damage to their vehicles. It also protects your car against theft or fire damage. But unlike other levels of cover, you’re protected in the event that you’re injured, or that your Nissan is damaged and needs repairs. Also, despite offering the most protection, comprehensive cover can work out cheapest - so always compare prices to be sure.
