Why is my Vauxhall Astra insurance premium going up?
Premiums are going up! Inflation is coming down but insurance premiums are definitely going up. The cost of car parts, paint and labour are the driving force. The used car market is buoyant. Sourcing semiconductors for cars is tough. The war in Ukraine is pushing up prices for things we never imagined it would. So when you are trying to renew your Vauxhall Astra insurance premium it is best to shop around.
Comparison sites are great for getting quotes without having to talk to someone so you can edit your quote to choose different options that might reduce the premium costs.
For example, do you need to protect your no claims? To see the difference in cost check your quote with and without protected no claims then decide if you want to take the risk! You can also check whether or not it is worth investing in a dash cam by re-quoting with and without. Also, does a family member on the policy bring down the cost of the insurance? Check it out!
Buying insurance for a used Vauxhall Astra
The Vauxhall Astra has been around since 1980, so there are a lot of used Astra’s on the market. The demise of General Motors meant that Opel and Vauxhall were sold to Stellantis (a PSA Group and Fiat/Chrysler merger) in 2017.
Built as competition for the Ford Escort and later the Ford Focus, the Astra has never really managed to out-sell one of its big rivals. But if you are looking for a used car the Astra tends to be cheaper for the same specification as other compact family cars. For example, a 2016 1.6 CDTi ecoFLEX Design Hatchback Euro 6 can be snapped up for under £6,000.
Getting cheap car insurance depends on many factors including your whereabouts in the UK. We have put together a table showing the estimated price of car insurance for a Vauxhall Astra in various towns and cities.
Postcodes with high accident and crime rates tend to cost more and getting your car repaired in London will be more expensive.
Which Astra model you buy will also affect your premium price. The ABI groups the Vauxhall Astra between group 8 and group 24.
We have run a quote for a 1.6 CDTi ecoFLEX Design Hatchback 5dr Diesel Manual Euro 6 (s/s) (110 ps) valued at £5,500 with an insurance grouping of 13.
