Getting the best premiums for your Nissan car

Nissan cars are probably one of the most reliable cars on the market therefore it is not surprising that many people are on the lookout for the best deals to insure their valued cars. The premiums for your Nissan car will depend on factors like its estimated price, the level of carbon dioxide emission and most importantly the driver’s age, no claims bonus, driving convictions among other factors. Although it is not possible to change the attributes of the driver as in you will not be able to change the fact that you’ve got points on your license if you do have them or lie that you hold a full UK license for 10 years when you just got it, you can certainly get cheaper car insurance by knowing which insurance group your Nissan car falls into.

The insurance group runs from 1 to 20 where Group 1 attracts the lowest premiums and this is determined by the price of the vehicle, the CO2 emission level, the engine size, the reliability of the car etc. Shown below is a list of Nissan models along with their corresponding CO2 rate and the insurance group they belong to:

As you can see, the Micra provides the cheapest car insurance for its make but you might argue that it is too small for your needs. Alternatively, the Almera offers more comfort because of its size and is yet affordable to insure. If you have the money though and want the privilege, there's no comparison to the X-trail despite its high premiums but that's the price to pay if you want to stand out of the crowd.

There are thousands of companies out there which will provide insurance cover for any car make but if you’re after a more specific insurance for your Nissan car, then you might want to check out the Express Insurance website which provides customised quotes for Nissans.

On a final note, remember that where your car is kept heavily affects your car insurance. So if you possess the stylish X-Trail and keep it in a secure garage, you could be paying less than an Almera which is parked on the roads in a bad neighbourhood.

For smaller cars with low carbon emissions, The Green Insurance Company offers the best quotes:
