What Affects Your Casco Premium?
⏱ 2 min read
A comprehensive premium is the price of the risk the insurer calculates for you and your vehicle. These factors drive it.
Vehicle factors
Make and model, engine size, age, spare-part costs and theft statistics. Models with expensive parts or high theft rates carry higher premiums.
Driver factors
Claims history (the no-claims step), driver age and licence duration. Each at-fault claim raises the next premium noticeably.
Usage factors
Annual mileage, purpose (private or commercial), where the vehicle is parked and the city. Dense-traffic districts show higher claim frequency in the statistics.
Cover choices
Deductible level, optional extras and the sum insured. Raising the deductible lowers the premium but shifts small claims to you.
The right way to reduce premium
Rather than cutting cover: protect your no-claims step, avoid claiming for minor damage, use enclosed parking where possible, and obtain comparative quotes from several insurers each year. The spread between insurers for identical cover is often surprising.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my premium change every year?
Vehicle value, your claims history, your no-claims step and the insurer’s risk statistics are all updated annually.
Does raising the deductible make sense?
If you rarely claim, yes. With frequent small claims it can raise your total cost.
