REVEALED: Some of the cheapest cars to insure

  • February 23, 2023

Car insurance can often be one of the biggest expenses involved in owning and running a car, and like most things, the price of it is going up.

Every car has an insurance group, which ranges from 1 (the lowest premiums) to 50 (the highest), and it’s an easy way of finding the cars that are cheapest to insure.
