About BMW?

BMW is a famous German car manufacturer that’s known for luxury vehicles and motorcycles. However, when BMW – or Bayerische Motoren Werke – was founded in 1916, its purpose was to create aircraft engines. 

The BMW range is known for being high-end and it includes SUVs, hatchbacks, and sedans. The sportier models often appeal to younger drivers, while larger BMWs make great family cars.

How much does it cost to insure a BMW?

The cost of insuring a BMW will depend on the model you have, as well as factors such as your age and driving history.

Insurance providers sort cars into different insurance groups, with one being the least expensive and 50 the most expensive. If you drive a powerful BMW, it’s likely to be in a high insurance group and it will therefore cost you more to insure.

Convictions and endorsements for speeding or other driving offences will mean paying more for insurance.

Add-ons like breakdown cover cost extra to add to your policy. Cutting out the extras you don't need can reduce your car insurance price.

The more no claims bonus you have, the cheaper your premium will be.

You can reduce the cost of motor insurance by parking your vehicle off the road – such as a secure car park or locked garage – when you're not using it.

Young or inexperienced drivers can reduce premiums by adding an older driver to their policy.

What type of insurance do I need?

There are three main types of car insurance policy available. These are:


Fully comprehensive

Fully comprehensive covers you and your car as well as any third parties involved in an accident - it offers the most complete protection available.

Third-party, fire and theft

Third-party, fire and theft pays out for damage to the third party, their vehicle and their property, but only covers your car against theft or fire.

Third-party only

Third-party only covers the third party, their vehicle and their property - not you or your car. It's the legal minimum in the UK.
