[H3] How much is car insurance in the UK?

The average UK car insurance premium was around £635 in late 2024, according to Association of British Insurers data. However, what you actually pay depends on your age, location, vehicle insurance group, driving history and the level of cover you choose. Young drivers aged 17 to 24 typically pay significantly more, while drivers over 30 with a clean record and several years of no-claims discount often pay well below the average. Premiums have been falling since their five-year peak in 2023, with Quotezone data showing prices around 18% lower than the same period last year. Comparing quotes from multiple providers remains the most effective way to find a competitive price. Quotezone searches over 130 UK car insurance providers in one go.

[H2] What levels of van insurance cover are available?

Like car insurance, you will have three main types of coverage to choose from when insuring your van. Each level of coverage gives financial support for different circumstances. Third-party insurance is often assumed to be the cheapest option. But this is rarely the case. Some comprehensive insurance policies can now cost 60% less than third-party-only options.

[H3] Comprehensive insurance
Fully comprehensive cover protects third parties, their vehicle and property, and also offers financial cover for your van. This means you can get back on the road without delays or financial strain if your van is damaged or written off as a total loss.

[H3] Third-party insurance
This is the minimum level of cover required under UK road law. It only covers damage or harm to other people, their property, and vehicles.

[H3] Third-party, fire, and theft insurance
This also protects third parties. But it will cover your own van if it is stolen, or damaged or destroyed in a fire. Whilst comprehensive cover typically costs more, but third-party, fire and theft options often deliver cheaper van insurance while still offering solid protection.

[H2] What type of van insurance do you need?

When comparing van quotes, you’ll be asked for a class of use. This simply means how you use your van or pickup truck. There are four main usage options that dictate what specialist van cover you need.

[H3] Business van insurance
Vans used for commercial purposes can benefit from business insurance. This provides cover for travelling to a single place of work and can protect any tools and equipment needed for your job. You’ll also have the option to insure any driver on the van, to  insure multiple vans on one policy, or cover specialist vehicles like catering vans.

[H3] Haulage insurance
This covers commercial vans where carrying and transporting goods are the main focus of the business. Couriers and food delivery vans will need haulage insurance as they carry goods for hire or reward. It also typically includes day to day driving and commuting to a permanent place of work.

[H3] Social-only insurance
This is also known as private or personal van insurance, which covers vans for socialising, pleasure, and domestic use. This is useful if your van is a secondary vehicle that is not needed for commuting or business purposes. It usually focuses on insuring one driver, but you can add additional drivers to the policy too.

[H3] Social and commuting insurance
This covers day-to-day driving, as well as travelling to a place of work. It can give you the flexibility you need to use your van as a primary vehicle. Despite common belief, commuting is not always covered as standard. So it’s important to make your insurer aware of this class of use.

[H2] What does your policy cover?
This depends on the type of cover you choose on your policy. Even the minimum third-party policies cover claims made against you. But with comprehensive insurance, you also get financial protection if your van is damaged, stolen or written off.
Additional coverage can also be included as add-ons. Popular extras added to insurance policies are:
Breakdown cover
Courtesy van
Tools and equipment
Personal injury
Additional driver
Medical expense
Legal costs
[H2] How much does van insurance cost in the UK?
Our latest Quotezone data shows the average quoted price of van insurance in the UK is £575. However, the cost of insurance can look very different depending on your circumstances. For example, when we look at the average cost for young drivers under 25, premiums jump to £2,026. That’s over 3 and a half times the national average.
Where you live will also impact the cost of your insurance. We’ve researched so you can easily compare different regions across the UK and discover where drivers enjoy the cheapest van insurance premiums.

Reference – Data from Quotezone, this data uses a random sample of over 100,000 UK van policies from September – December 2024.
[H2] Why are premiums so high?
Insurance premiums depend on risk, vehicle type, and driver history — but you can still find cheap van insurance quotes by comparing providers and adjusting your cover options.
On top of this, the expense of repairs, van parts, and cost of labour has gone up. These costs have forced insurers to raise van premiums to recover their losses.
Van theft is another factor. Over 17,000 tools were stolen from vans in 2024, and theft claims push up premiums across the board. Vans are also typically driven more miles per year than cars, which increases the likelihood of an accident or breakdown.
On average, van insurance tends to cost more than car insurance. The larger size of vans means higher repair bills, and commercial use adds risk that personal car policies do not carry. Comparing quotes regularly through a service like Quotezone is one of the most effective ways to offset rising costs and find a policy that fits your budget.
[H2] What should you do if you need to claim?
If your van is involved in an accident or incident, acting quickly can make the claims process smoother.
First, make sure everyone is safe. If anyone is injured or the road is blocked, call 999. Move your van to a safe position if you can do so without risk.
Next, exchange details with anyone else involved. Note down names, contact information, registration numbers, and insurance details. Take photos of any damage, the road layout, and weather conditions. If there are witnesses, ask for their contact details too.
Contact your insurer as soon as possible, even if you are not planning to make a claim. Most policies require you to report any incident within a set timeframe, and failing to do so could affect your cover.
Your insurer will guide you through the next steps, which may include arranging repairs through an approved garage or settling the claim directly.
[H2] Does van insurance cover driving in Europe?
Most comprehensive van insurance policies include a period of European cover, typically between 30 and 90 days per year. This usually provides the minimum third-party cover required by law in the countries you visit.
Since 2021, UK drivers no longer need a green card to drive in most EU and EEA countries. However, check your policy documents or contact your insurer before you travel, as the level of cover abroad may be lower than what you have in the UK.
If you regularly drive your van in Europe, consider adding European breakdown cover to your policy. Quotezone can help you compare breakdown cover for your van alongside your main insurance.
[H2] How to compare quotes and find the best deal
Comparing van insurance quotes yourself means visiting dozens of insurer websites one by one. A quicker approach is to use a van insurance comparison service like Quotezone, where you enter your details once and receive quotes from over 60 van insurance UK providers.
When you compare van insurance quotes, pay attention to three things: the level of cover, the excess amount, and what the policy excludes. The cheapest van insurance quote is not always the best van insurance option. A slightly higher premium with a lower excess could leave you better off if you ever need to claim.
Quotezone includes specialist UK van insurance providers on its panel, so you can compare van insurance quotes for modified vans, commercial vehicles, and haulage vans alongside standard policies. These specialist quotes often turn out to be surprisingly competitive.
Have your van registration number, current mileage, and claims history to hand before you start. Compare van insurance quotes on Quotezone and you could have a shortlist of options within minutes.
[H2] When is the best time to buy van insurance?
Most drivers get the best van insurance prices by comparing quotes around 21 to 28 days before their renewal date. Leaving it to the last minute or auto-renewing without checking other options often means paying more than you need to. If you can’t remember whether your current cover is still active, you can check if your van is on the MID for free before you start.
Your insurer is required to send a renewal notice at least 21 days before your policy expires. Use that as your prompt to start comparing. Quotezone lets you compare van insurance quotes from over 60 UK providers in minutes, so you can see whether your renewal offer is competitive or whether switching could save you money.
Setting a calendar reminder three to four weeks before your renewal date is one of the simplest ways to keep your van insurance costs down year after year.
[H2] Is electric van insurance more expensive?
Electric van insurance can cost more than insuring an equivalent diesel or petrol van. Repair costs tend to be higher because electric vans use specialist battery technology and components that not every garage can work on. Electric vans also tend to be heavier than their petrol or diesel equivalents, which can affect the level of cover you need.
That said, premiums for electric vans are gradually falling as more garages train in EV repair and more insurers add electric vehicles to their panels. If you already drive an electric van or are considering switching, comparing quotes through Quotezone can help you find a competitive deal from providers who specialise in electric van insurance.

[H2] What determines the cost of van insurance?

So it’s more important than ever to shop around for cheap insurance for a van. You could save up to £685* when you compare van insurance quotes at Quotezone today. For more on what pushes van premiums higher, see our guide on why van insurance is so expensive.

[H3] Age
Drivers under 20 are 33% more likely to be fatally wounded in an accident**. So young van drivers often pay more for cover. If older drivers have a good no-claims history they could get cheaper quotes with a no-claims bonus.

[H3] Your occupation
Jobs that require more time on the road can increase your insurance premium. Having a higher annual mileage, and driving at peak times could mean you are at more risk of being involved in an accident.

[H3] Your location
The rate of road accidents, congestion and crime rates in your area all affect the risk to your van. This could be balanced out by parking on a driveway or in a garage. Secure parking can protect your van from opportunist thieves and damage from passing traffic on public roads.

[H3] Your driving record
Convicted van drivers or drivers with a track record of risky driving, penalty points, and fines will be a greater risk to insure. Our research shows that three penalty points can increase your insurance premium by 5%, and six points can increase it by 25%.

[H3] Your claims history
A history of insurance claims could indicate that you are a risky driver, and more likely to claim in the future. Completing an advanced driving course could offset this and earn discounts with some van insurers.

[H3] Your medical history
Some medical conditions increase your chances of being involved in an accident and will be reflected in the cost of your policy. More serious conditions need to be declared to the DVLA. But you should also keep an eye on medications and more subtle conditions like hay fever that can affect your driving.

[H3] No claims discount
Our policy data reveals that over three million UK drivers could benefit from no-claims discounts. In some cases, a well-established no-claims history could save you up to 60% or 70% on insurance premiums.

[H3] The provider and policy you choose
Each insurer that provides van coverage will weigh up your risk profile in a different way. Some even specialise in particular drivers or policies, for example, black box policies, so offer lower premiums than others. This is why doing an extensive van insurance comparison before you buy is so important.

[H2] What details do I need to get a cheap van insurance quote?

[H3] Van registration number and details
With your van’s registration number, we can automatically find an exact make and model. Without it, we will ask for the van’s make, model, year, and engine size.
Other details include how you use the van, the van’s value, body type, number of seats and any modifications that have been made to the van.

[H3] Personal details
These personal details demonstrate your risk level, so affect your quotes. Details we will ask for include your age, occupation, location, marital status, and number of children.
Your annual mileage, access to other vehicles, driving history, and no claims discount are also relevant. As well as any disabilities and medical needs you have.

[H3] Type of cover
You will need to specify which of the three types of coverage you want on your van policy. Details like your excess, payment terms and additional coverage will follow these.

[H2] What is car insurance and why do you need it?
Car insurance is a legal requirement for anyone driving on UK roads. Under the Road Traffic Act 1988, you must hold at least third party cover before driving or keeping a vehicle on public roads. Failing to insure your vehicle can result in a £300 fixed penalty, six penalty points, and in serious cases your vehicle may be seized and destroyed.
There are three main levels of cover: third party only (the legal minimum), third party fire and theft, and fully comprehensive. The right choice depends on your vehicle, driving history and budget. According to the Association of British Insurers, around 30 million motor insurance policies are active in the UK at any time. Quotezone compares car insurance quotes from over 130 FCA-regulated UK providers, helping you find the right cover at a competitive price in minutes.
[H2] How car insurance works in the UK
When you take out a policy, you pay a premium to an insurer who agrees to cover the cost of certain events such as accidents, theft, or damage to other vehicles. If you need to make a claim, you pay an excess (a fixed amount you contribute) and your insurer covers the rest up to your policy limit.
Premiums are calculated based on several factors including your age, driving experience, claims history, the vehicle you drive, where you live, and the level of cover you choose. Insurers use data from the Motor Insurance Database, managed by the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, to verify that all UK vehicles are covered.
You can buy car insurance directly from an insurer, through a broker, or by using a comparison site like Quotezone. Using a car insurance comparison site is the most effective way to find competitive cover, as prices for identical policies can vary significantly between insurers.
[H2] What each level of car insurance covers
There are three levels of car insurance available in the UK. Fully comprehensive is not always the most expensive — drivers who choose comprehensive cover tend to make fewer claims, so insurers often price it more competitively than third party only. Always compare all three levels when you get quotes.

[H2] What affects the price of car insurance?
Your premium comes down to one thing: how likely you are to make a claim, and how much that claim might cost. Insurers assess this differently, which is why two people with the same car can get very different quotes.
Age is one of the biggest factors. Drivers under 25 pay more because statistically they are more likely to be involved in an accident — this isn’t personal, it’s just how the data falls. Premiums typically drop as you gain experience and build up a no-claims discount, which after five or more years can reduce your premium by 60–75%.
The car itself matters too. Every vehicle is assigned to one of 50 insurance groups based on repair costs, performance and safety features. Higher group means higher premium, as a rule.
Where you live has more impact than most people realise. Urban postcodes — particularly in London and Birmingham — attract higher premiums due to greater rates of theft and accident claims. Your occupation plays a similar role, with some jobs statistically linked to higher risk than others.
One thing worth knowing: fully comprehensive cover is not always more expensive than third party only. Drivers who opt for comprehensive cover tend to be lower risk, so insurers price it accordingly. It is always worth comparing all three levels before assuming the cheapest option is third party.
Quotezone searches over 130 UK providers to help you find cheap car insurance that suits your specific circumstances.
[H2] Your no-claims discount and why it’s worth protecting
For most drivers, the no-claims discount is often the single biggest factor affecting their premium. Every claim-free year adds to it. After five or more years, it can reduce your premium by 60–75% compared to what you’d pay with no discount history. That’s not a small difference — and it’s one of the most reliable ways to secure cheap car insurance at renewal without changing your cover.
The discount is yours, not the car’s. Switch insurer, change vehicle, it comes with you — you’ll just need proof from your previous provider. If you run two cars on separate policies, each one builds its own NCD independently, which is worth knowing.
One thing that catches people out: NCD protection doesn’t freeze your premium after a claim. It protects the discount itself, but insurers can still adjust your base rate. So after a claim, you might keep your five-year discount but still see your renewal price go up. Whether the protection add-on is worth paying for depends on how big your discount is and what the add-on costs. It’s worth doing the maths rather than assuming it’s always a good deal.

[H2] How much is car insurance?
In Q1 2026, the average UK motorist paid £579.52 for car insurance, according to the Quotezone Car Insurance Price Index. Premiums have fallen 9% year-on-year — a saving of around £62 compared to the same quarter last year. When it comes to individual costs, it will depend on how likely you are to make a claim on your insurance policy. Insurers use the details you provide when you get a quote to judge how risky you are to insure.

Some of the biggest risk indicators are your age and location. The average insurance costs shown below display just what a massive difference these can make to the price of your insurance.

[H2] Types of car insurance you can compare

The right type of car insurance depends on how you use your car, who drives it, and what you can afford to lose if something goes wrong. The policies below cover the most common situations — click any of them to find out more and compare quotes.

[H3] Young drivers insurance

If you’re a driver aged 17 to 24 looking for insurance, premiums are higher because statistically younger drivers are more likely to make a claim — but there are policies designed specifically for this age group that can help keep costs down. Black box and telematics policies are worth comparing alongside standard quotes, as they price cover based on how you actually drive rather than your age group alone.

[H3] Learner driver insurance

Learner driver insurance lets you practise in your own car or someone else’s without being added to their main policy — which means their no-claims discount isn’t at risk if you have an accident. Cover is available on a short-term or monthly basis, so you only pay for the time you need it while you’re working towards your test.

[H3] Named driver insurance

Adding someone to your policy as a named driver can reduce your premium if they’re more experienced than you, as long as they genuinely share use of the car. The main driver listed must be whoever drives it most — adding someone purely to cut the price when they rarely use the car is known as fronting, which is fraud and can void your cover entirely.

[H3] Multi car insurance

If you have more than one car to insure, a multi-car policy covers them under a single arrangement, which can be cheaper and simpler than running separate policies. Each vehicle still has its own level of cover and excess, but renewal dates are usually aligned so you’re not managing multiple policies at different times of year.

[H3] Business car insurance

If you use your car for work, a standard social and commuting policy won’t cover you — you’ll need business use added to your policy. There are three classes of business use: Class 1 covers you and your spouse for travelling between sites, Class 2 adds a named driver, and Class 3 covers high-mileage roles like sales reps. Driving for work without the right class of cover can invalidate your policy entirely.

[H3] Pay-as-you-go insurance

Pay-as-you-go policies charge you based on the miles you actually drive, making them a cost-effective option if you use your car infrequently. They typically work through a telematics device or app that tracks your mileage, and are worth comparing if you drive under around 7,000 miles a year.

[H3] GAP insurance

Guaranteed Asset Protection insurance covers the difference between what your insurer pays out if your car is written off and what you originally paid for it — or what you still owe on finance. A car can lose 20–30% of its value in the first year, so if you bought on finance or paid full price for a new vehicle, GAP cover means you won’t be left out of pocket after a total loss settlement.

[H2] Is car insurance getting less expensive?
Car insurance premiums peaked in late 2023, driven by a surge in claims and the rising cost of repairs. Insurers had been absorbing years of inflation in parts and labour, and eventually passed those costs on to drivers. As a result, motor insurance costs in the UK reached a 5 year high at the time. However, our Quotezone Car Insurance Price Index shows premiums peaked at £885.21 in Q4 2023 and have fallen consistently since, reaching £579.52 in Q1 2026 — 9% lower than Q1 2025 (£651.25) and 35% below the late-2023 peak. After a slight uptick in Q4 2025, prices resumed falling into 2026. A quick car insurance comparison on Quotezone can show exactly how these lower prices translate to your own premium.
[IMG: Monthly Car Insurance Cost 2026]

[H2] How to find cheaper car insurance

Finding cheap car insurance in the UK has become more difficult as premiums have risen in recent years. With motor insurance costs spiking in previous years, it’s more important than ever to know how to find cheap car insurance.

[H3] Pay annually
If you can pay upfront, do. Monthly payments are essentially a loan – most insurers charge the equivalent of 20–30% APR in interest, which adds a noticeable amount to the total cost over the year. If paying in full isn’t realistic, it’s still worth comparing the annual total rather than just the monthly figure, as interest rates vary significantly between insurers.

[H3] Stay secure
Parking on a private driveway rather than a public road can save you up to £140 on your premium, according to Quotezone data. Upgrading security with an engine immobiliser or GPS tracker can also bring the price down – insurers price risk, and a harder-to-steal car is a lower risk.

[H3] Shop around before renewal
Your renewal cost may not be the best rate the insurer can offer. The Association of British Insurers recommends comparing quotes before every renewal rather than accepting the first price you receive. Prices for identical cover can vary by hundreds of pounds between providers – comparing on Quotezone takes a few minutes and shows you what the full market will charge.

[H3] Build your no-claims discount
Every claim-free year adds to your no-claims discount. After five or more years it can reduce your premium by 60–75%. For minor incidents where the repair cost is close to your excess, it’s often cheaper to pay out of pocket and protect the discount than to claim and see your premium rise at renewal.

[H3] Add an experienced named driver
Adding a more experienced driver to your policy can bring the premium down if they genuinely share the car. One thing to be clear on: the main driver listed must be whoever actually drives it most. Adding someone purely to cut the price – when they rarely or never use the car – is fronting, which is fraud and can void your cover entirely.

[H3] Consider a black box policy
Black box or telematics policies price your cover based on how you actually drive rather than statistical averages for your age group. For careful or low-mileage drivers – particularly those aged 17 to 24 – this can be considerably cheaper than a standard policy. If you drive mainly at lower-risk times and cover fewer miles than average, it’s worth getting a telematics quote alongside your standard comparison.

[H3] Increase your voluntary excess
Agreeing to pay more if you claim reduces the insurer’s exposure, which typically brings the premium down. Before you increase it, check what your compulsory excess already is – the two are added together, so make sure the combined total is an amount you could comfortably pay if you needed to make a claim.

[H3] Check your car’s insurance group
Every car in the UK sits in one of 50 insurance groups, set by the Association of British Insurers Group Rating Panel. Group 1 is the cheapest, group 50 the most expensive – a group 1 car can cost half as much to insure as a group 20 equivalent. If you are buying a new car and running costs matter, it is worth checking the group before you commit.

[H3] Time your renewal correctly
Prices tend to be sharpest 15 to 24 days before your renewal date. Leaving it until the day your policy expires signals urgency, and insurers price accordingly – last-minute buyers

[H2] What is home insurance?
Home or house insurance is designed to protect your home and its contents. It can help with the cost of replacing or repairing damage or losses. Covered events will depend on your specific insurance policy. But this insurance typically protects from fires, storms, theft and floods.
Coverage options include building insurance and contents insurance, which come separately or combined into one building and contents policy.

[H2] Types of insurance for your home

There are two main types of home coverage which can be bought separately, or combined into one policy. These include:

[H3] Building insurance
Building insurance covers your home, its fixtures and fittings, and any outbuildings, pathways and boundaries like walls, fences or gates. It can also include underground services like water and sewage pipes, septic tanks and oil or gas tanks.

[H3] Contents insurance
Contents insurance covers any personal possessions the policy owner is legally responsible for in the house. This means furniture, electronics, clothes and valuables like paintings or jewellery.
This cover will usually pay out the market value of the contents. However, you can opt for “new for old” cover, which does not make deductions based on the wear and tear of the items, so they will be replaced with brand-new equivalents.

[H3] Combined buildings and contents insurance
Buildings and contents insurance combines the cover of both buildings and contents policies into one package.
It can often be cheaper than buying the policies separately and can be easier to manage with only one premium and renewal date.

Compare Home Insurance

[H2] Do I need home insurance?

Insuring your home is not necessary under UK law. However, lenders often require it as part of your loan agreement if you have a mortgage. You can tailor your insurance to meet your specific needs with the following policies.

[H3] Homeowners
Being responsible for an entire property and its contents can be costly when things go wrong. The average pay-out for a homeowner’s claim was £6,002 in 2024**. Comparing this to the average home insurance cost in the UK, which is currently £274, it’s clear that not insuring our home could be more expensive in the long run.

[H3] Landlord
Landlords insurance, also known as buy-to-let or rental property insurance provides specialised cover for landlords. It lets you cover multiple properties on one policy while protecting your building and any furnishings that are rented along with the property.

[H3] Tenant
As a tenant or lodger, you are not responsible for home insurance. However, you can still protect your valuable belongings like gadgets or jewellery from being stolen or damaged with renters insurance, or contents insurance for tenants.

[H3] Second homeowners
If you own a second home or holiday home, you can take out a second home policy. Specialised coverage can also provide cover for letting out the property to others, or renting the property on Airbnb.

[H3] Students
This cover focuses on insuring your possessions while you live in halls or shared accommodation. You can insure the belongings you keep in your private room with specialised student contents insurance.

[H3] Non-Standard property owners
Sometimes a traditional policy won’t provide the protection your home needs. Non-standard home insurance provides additional protection for homes that require special coverage, including listed buildings and those with a higher risk of flooding or subsidence.

[H3] Unoccupied homes
Unoccupied property insurance is required for a vacant or empty home left unoccupied for over 30 consecutive days. This type of home has inherently higher risks and will need to have adequate cover in place.

[H3] Building insurance for flat owners
If you own and live in a flat or an apartment, you can find insurance policies tailored specifically for this type of home. Learn more about flat insurance here.

[H2] How much does home insurance cost?
The average cost of home insurance in the UK is £274 going into 2025.
This cost varies depending on various factors including the type of property you own, and where you live. This is because your location lets insurers know the risks to your home in your area. Things like local repair and labour costs, crime rates, flood risks, and the overall number of claims for your region all impact costs.
This is why the insurance comparison experts at Quotezone have broken down the average price of home insurance by region.

[H2] How can I get a cheaper home insurance quote?

The average cost of insuring a home has risen 60% in England alone since 2023. So you won’t be alone if you are struggling more than usual to find a cheap home insurance policy. However, understanding how your personal circumstances and other factors influence your quote is key to finding cheaper quotes. Here are some tips to start:

[H3] Choose your property carefully
This is a huge decision that will impact your property insurance costs for the foreseeable future. The size, materials, and type of your home will all indicate the cost to repair it. Our research shows that detached homes cost 35% more to insure than semi-detached homes.

[H3] Know the risks in your location
The location of your home lets insurers know a lot about its risk level. They will be able to find out the flood risks and crime rates in your area. This is why it is so important to do your research and know what red flags to look out for when you are viewing a home.

[H3] Choose your cover level
Any additional coverage you add to your policy can come at an additional price. So always choose only the coverage you really need when you compare quotes. Estimate your rebuild cost accurately so you do not over-insure.

[H3] Increase your excess
You could also choose to increase the excess on your policy to reduce the premium. Just know that this will mean paying a little more out of pocket each time you make a claim.

[H3] Pay annually
Providers will usually charge less if you pay your premium annually rather than monthly. This is because you avoid the added interest that is applied when you pay monthly. By paying your insurance monthly you are essentially entering into a credit agreement with your insurer.

[H3] Maintain your home
Continued home maintenance means you lower the risk of developing issues that result in claiming your insurance. A good no-claims history can get you cheaper home insurance policies when you start to compare quotes.

[H3] Secure the property
Improving home security makes you less of a risk to insure, so could reduce the premiums on both home and contents policies. Insurers often reward measures like installing security lights, house alarms, and BSI (British Standards Association) approved locks like a 5 lever mortice deadlock.

[H3] Compare quotes for home insurance
Although insurance providers consider similar factors when calculating your insurance cost, each uses its own pricing model that gives different importance to each factor. That’s comparing quotes is so important when you are looking for the cheapest quotes. Different insurers could also offer incentives like rewards or free gifts which you can benefit from.

[H2] What is and isn’t covered by home insurance?

[H3] What is covered?
While policies can vary, most cover damage or loss caused by:
Fire damage
Storms and flooding
Subsidence, landslips, or heave
Falling trees and branches
Theft and malicious damage
Leaking water tanks and pipes
Oil leaks from heating systems
Impact from an aircraft, vehicle, or animal

[H3] What is excluded?
Again, this can vary. Your policy details will always clearly outline exclusions. Common exclusions from home cover are:
General wear and tear over time
Damage resulting from lack of  maintenance
Damage from DIY or poor workmanship
Intentional damage caused by the policyholder
Damage from pests and pets
Unoccupied properties
Some insurers exclude gardens, fences, hedges or gates of a property

[H2] Optional extras available

[H3] Accidental damage cover
Covers unexpected and accidental damage caused to your home or its contents. This can include damages caused by you or your family like breaking windows or cracking floor tiles.

[H3] Home emergency cover
Home emergency protection offers fast help with the cost of repairing damages that put the occupant’s health or safety at risk. This could be a broken heating system or burst pipes.

[H3] Alternative accommodation cover
Provides temporary alternative accommodation if our home isn’t safe to stay in. Your policy documents will outline these events, which usually include flooding, fire, or storm damage.

[H3] Bicycle cover
Protects your bicycle against damage or theft while you store it at home. This option is available whether you keep your bike in a shed or hallway.

[H3] Legal costs cover
Covers the cost of getting legal help or advice for disputes related to your property. An example would be a boundary dispute or noise complaint.

[H3] Personal possessions cover
This gives you additional coverage that can include valuables you take outside of the home like jewellery, instruments, or devices. You can also insure these separately under gadget insurance.

[H3] Outbuildings insurance
While garages that are attached to your property will usually be covered by home insurance, some providers will not cover separate buildings. Outbuilding insurance can cover these gaps, as well as lockups outside of your property.

[H2] What do I need to know to get a quote?
1. Basic details about the homeThis includes the property type. For example, a semi-detached, three-bedroom house. The history of the home, including when it was built, the main building materials and if it is a listed building. It’s also helpful to know about the home’s security features like the alarm system and the type of locks on the main external door.
2. Rebuild costs and contents valueIt’s important to get these right because the values you give will be the maximum amount you are paid out when making a claim. Our quote form can help give you an estimated value to rebuild the property based on the basic information you provide.
However, it is always best to do your research to get an accurate rebuild value and find out how much it would cost to replace the entire contents of your home.
3. The level of cover you wantYou can choose between buildings insurance, contents insurance, or a combined buildings and contents policy. You can insure specific items worth over £1,000, or items you take outside your home. You can also choose extra coverage like home appliance protection, and the excess you want on the policy.

[H2] Understanding the claims process
Home insurers will have different guidelines when it comes to claiming on your insurance. But each will follow the same general process.
1. Contact your insurer to notify them of the damage or loss as soon as you can.
2. The insurer will carry out an investigation which may require proof of ownership, receipts and estimates for any repairs.
3. The claim will be either rejected or settled fully or partially by the insurer.
4. The insurer might identify an at-fault party who is liable for the damages to recover their costs.
[H2] Compare cheap home insurance quotes from 40 UK providers
Quotezone compares cheap home insurance quotes from up to 40 trusted UK insurers, including Admiral, Aviva, AXA, Policy Expert, Homeprotect and Legal & General. Searching multiple providers is the easiest way to find a competitive premium — quotes for the same property and risk profile can differ by hundreds of pounds depending on the insurer, so comparing the panel below in one search saves time and helps you find cheaper home insurance for your circumstances. Every insurer on Quotezone’s panel is FCA-authorised, and you can switch between buildings, contents, or combined cover at the quote stage to see how each option affects the price. Premiums also depend on factors like property age, rebuild cost, postcode, and claims history — so the right insurer for one household won’t necessarily be the right one for another.

[H2] What is motorbike insurance?

This insurance is a financial safety net that helps cover the costs of certain damage and injuries you may be liable for if you have a motorbike or motorcycle accident. More importantly still, it is a legal requirement if you are driving any type of bike on UK roads, whether you’re on a motorcycle, scooter, moped, or quad.

[H2] What does motorbike insurance cover?

The coverage on a motorbike or motorcycle insurance policy will vary depending on the type you choose. Options include:

[H2] What’s excluded from motorbike insurance?

Exclusions vary across insurers so it is recommended that you check the provider’s coverage details before you buy. Some common exclusions on standard motorbike policies include:

[H3] Wear and tear
Wear and tear due to standard use or lack of maintenance will not be covered by standard insurance.

[H3] Sidecar cover
Sidecars are classed as an accessory, so these and other attachments will likely require extra cover.

[H3] Modifications
Some insurers won’t cover any modifications, while others will only exclude them if the modification is illegal. If you fail to declare modifications to your insurer you could risk invalidating the policy entirely.

[H3] Riding under the influence
Riding your motorbike under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be covered by insurers. You may also face a fine of up to £2,500, loss of licence, or even prison time.

[H3] Racing
Racing and other risky activities will not be covered by standard bike insurance. Specialist insurance may be available for insuring you for motorbike racing.

[H3] Illegal use
Using your motorbike to carry out illegal activities will not be covered.

[H3] Wilful damage
Deliberately damaging your motorbike will not be covered by insurers.

[H2] How much is motorbike insurance?
Motorbike, motorcycle and bike insurance costs can vary dramatically between riders. The exact cost of your quote will depend on different things such as:
Engine size – As a general rule, the more powerful your motorbike’s engine, the more expensive your cover.
Your job – If you work a job that requires you to travel to and from work at unsociable hours, such as very early or late, then this will impact your risk to insurers and your premiums.
Your level of cover – Comprehensive motorcycle insurance policies are not always the most expensive option – in fact they can sometimes be cheaper than third-party coverage.
Your age – Younger riders are viewed as a higher risk by insurers and this can mean higher premiums.
Annual mileage – The more miles you’re likely to clock up over the year, the more expensive your premium.
The insurer you choose – Each insurer will view your risk slightly differently. Shopping around to find a provider who looks at your circumstances favourably can mean lower premiums

[H2] How can I get cheap motorbike insurance?

The cost of your motorbike cover will vary between insurers so it’s important to compare policies. Doing a comparison is the easiest way of finding cheap motorcycle insurance. There are also some long-term changes you can make to help reduce the price of your future premiums.

[H3] Improve security
This can be as simple as parking your motorbike in a more secure location overnight. You could also install approved alarms to your motorbike to help reduce your premiums.

[H3] No-claims discount
Building up a no claims discount (NCD) over time can be a great way of reducing your premiums. Some insurers will also let you protect your no-claims discount for an additional cost.

[H3] Avoid modifications
Modifications can increase the value of your motorbike and also make it more costly to repair and replace. This will typically lead to more expensive premiums.

[H3] Choose your bike carefully
Opting for a smaller 50cc motorbike will typically be cheaper to insure than a more powerful 125cc motorbike.

[H3] Pay annually
By paying annually you can reduce your premiums by cutting out the interest charged on monthly premium payments.

[H3] Compare motorcycle insurance quotes
Each provider will assess your risk of claiming differently. By comparing motorbike, motorcycle and bike insurance quotes across many providers you can help ensure you don’t overpay.

[H3] Breakdown cover
If your motorbike breaks down and you require emergency roadside assistance, breakdown cover will get you the help you need to fix or transport your bike from the roadside. Most breakdown insurance providers will also assist with transporting your bike to a repair shop.

[H3] Pillion cover
If you plan on carrying passengers on your bike then you’ll need to be sure pillion cover is included in your policy. You must be a full motorbike or moped licence holder in order to qualify for pillion cover.

[H3] Replacement Keys
In case vehicle keys are lost or stolen, this will cover the cost of getting a replacement set.

[H3] Personal effects cover
Helmet and leathers cover can protect your expensive gear and keep boots, jackets, helmets and gloves covered should they be damaged in an accident. Many policies will offer coverage for up to £1,500.

[H3] Legal expenses cover
This cover helps provide for legal costs you might face after an accident. These could include third-party claims for loss of income or travel expenses.

[H3] Protected no claims discount
If you’ve built up a no claims discount over the years, you’ll want to protect it. This add-on can ensure your hard earned discount won’t be impacted if you need to make a claim.

[H3] European travel cover
Some policies may only offer third party cover for riding your motorbike in Europe. If you want to have more comprehensive cover while in Europe, you can add European driving cover.

[H2] Classes of motorbike use

The way you use your motorbike plays a key part in determining your premiums. There are four uses listed by insurers:

[H3] Social use only
For social, domestic and pleasure use (SD&P). This class includes things like riding to the shops, visiting friends and family, and leisure.

[H3] Social & commuting
Using your bike for social activities as well as commuting to and from a single place of work. If you regularly commute to multiple places of work then you will need to insure your bike for business use.

[H3] Business use
If you commute to multiple locations for work, either to meet clients or visit offices, then you will need business use cover. This will also cover you for social and domestic use.

[H3] Delivery use
This will cover you for using your motorbike or scooter for delivery of low value goods such as food, drinks and small parcels.

[H2] Motorbike Insurance FAQs

[H3] What is the cheapest motorbike insurance in the UK?

Third-party only (TPO) cover is usually the cheapest motorbike insurance because it’s the legal minimum in the UK. TPO pays out for injury or damage you cause to other road users and their property. It won’t repair or replace your own motorcycle if it’s stolen or written off. On a higher-value bike, that gap often makes third-party fire and theft (TPFT), or fully comprehensive bike insurance, better value despite the slightly higher premium. Prices vary wildly between insurers too. Quotes for the same rider on the same motorcycle can differ by hundreds of pounds. Comparing all three cover levels across several UK providers is a reliable way to see which works out cheapest for your circumstances.

[H3] How do I lower the cost of my motorbike insurance?

Several things can bring the cost of motorbike insurance down. Raising your voluntary excess reduces your premium, but only commit to a figure you could actually pay if a claim came in. Fitting Thatcham-approved security like an alarm, immobiliser, or tracker, plus parking off-street overnight, both cut theft risk and insurers price that in. Declaring accurate annual mileage and paying the premium annually rather than monthly are two free wins worth taking. Moving down to a smaller-engine motorcycle is often the single biggest saving, especially for newer riders. A no-claims discount compounds over time, and protecting it usually costs less than what it’s worth. Comparing bike insurance quotes from several UK providers at renewal usually undercuts a straight auto-renew.

[H3] Is third-party bike insurance always less expensive?

Not always. Third-party insurance tends to be cheaper upfront, although some insurers charge higher premiums in the long run because of higher claims risks. Third-party, third-party fire and theft, and comprehensive cover all need to be compared to determine the cheapest type of cover that suits you.

[H3] Does motorbike engine size affect insurance premiums?

Yes, and it’s one of the bigger factors insurers price on. Smaller engines measured in cubic centimetres (cc) cost less to insure because the bike is less powerful, typically cheaper to replace, and statistically less likely to be in a serious crash. A 50cc moped or 125cc learner-legal motorcycle almost always costs less to insure than a 600cc or 1000cc sports bike. Theft risk plays a part too, since high-performance motorcycles are targeted disproportionately. If keeping bike insurance premiums down matters more than outright performance, a smaller motorcycle is a sensible route. Exact savings depend on your age, postcode, and claims history, so it’s worth comparing motorbike insurance quotes for the specific model you’re considering before you buy.

[H3] What does it cost to insure a 17 year old on a 125cc motorbike?

Given that 125cc bikes have a relatively small engine, they are generally on the cheaper side to insurers. However, insuring a 17 year old on a bike will likely cost more than insuring an experienced driver. To get accurate costs, you will still need to get personalised quotes.

[H3] Why is motorbike insurance so expensive?

Bike insurance costs more than car cover mainly because the risks are higher. UK riders make up around 1% of road traffic but
