The Ford Fiesta is one of the most popular and best-selling cars in the UK, first launched in 1976 and still going strong to this day. They have a reputation for being affordable and easy to run, and they come in number of variants, from the Zetec to the Style and the Titanium.
The premiums you’ll pay to insure your Ford Fiesta will depend on a number of factors, including the insurance group it’s in. Cars in lower insurance groups are generally cheaper to insure – insurance providers take into account the car’s performance, its rarity and overall cost among other factors to decide which group a car is in.

2. Zetec Climate - £781 /year to insure
3. Titanium - £651 /year to insure

Insurance providers consider a range of factors to essentially determine how much of a claim risk you are. This includes the following:
Younger drivers generally pay more for car insurance as their inexperience makes them more likely to be involved in an incident
Some areas in the UK see higher car theft or vandalism rates, so people living there generally pay more for car insurance
Certain jobs may make you more likely to have to claim on your car insurance policy, as such you'll likely pay more in premiums
If you have a history of driving convictions or car insurance claims, insurers see you as a high risk of having to claim again
Spending less time behind the wheel and on the road means you’re less likely to be involved in a road accident
Storing your car in a garage or carport, or on a driveway, is likely to make your premiums cheaper than keeping it on the road – especially at night
It will come as no surprise that Ford Fiestas are most common with drivers under 25 years old – in fact, over 40% of those looking to insure a Ford Fiesta with MoneySuperMarket were aged 17 to 24.
These models are also most popular in the north-west and London, with just under 30% of people looking for a quote living in those two regions2.

You may be able to reduce your car insurance premiums by doing the following:
If you're a young driver you can benefit from adding a more experienced person to your policy, such as a parent or guardian. It shows you won’t be solely responsible for the vehicle
If you can avoid making small or frivolous claims by paying for minor repairs yourself – but still informing your insurer of the damage – it can help you build a no-claims bonus that’ll earn you lower premiums in the future
Car insurance policies can come with a raft of extra features to bolster your cover – but if they aren’t included as standard they’ll usually cost extra, so consider adding only ones that you know you’ll need
Ford Fiestas are common choice for young drivers, who can also save money on their premiums by taking out telematics cover. This lets you earn discounts by demonstrating sensible driving habits
