Average policy price:
£389^
Based on fully comprehensive policies for all drivers across the UK.
Is the Peugeot 208 expensive to run?
The Peugeot 208 is generally affordable to run, with efficient petrol, diesel, and electric options. Fuel costs are low for the 1.2L petrol models, while the e-208 offers savings on charging compared to petrol and diesel.
Are Peugeot 208s expensive to insure?
It depends on the variant - entry-level models are in lower insurance groups (8-15), making them relatively cheap to insure. However, GT and electric variants are in higher groups, leading to more expensive premiums.
What's the best insurance for a Peugeot 208?
Fully comprehensive car insurance offers the highest level of cover and can often be cheaper than the other options.
If your car is damaged in an accident, fully comprehensive is the only level of cover that will protect you financially against any costs related to you or your vehicle. Third-party policies are designed to protect other drivers in the event you cause an accident.
How can I get cheaper car insurance?
Some of the factors that impact the cost of your car insurance are difficult to change: your job, where you live, how old you are.
But there are tweaks everyone can make to bring down your premiums. These include:
Increasing your excess
Increase – or add – a voluntary excess to get cheaper premiums. But make sure you could afford to pay this amount in the event of a claim.

Driving safely
Convictions and endorsements for speeding or other driving offences will mean paying more for insurance.
Reducing extras
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.
Building up a no-claims bonus
The more no claims bonus you have, the cheaper your premium will be.
Parking off-road
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.
Adding a named driver
Young or inexperienced drivers can reduce premiums by adding an older driver to their policy.
What insurance group does a Peugeot 208 fall into?
The Peugeot 208 is usually found in insurance groups 5 to 26 depending on the variant and trim. It means many of these models are on the more affordable side when it comes to insurance costs, however not all versions.
Lower group models like the 1.2L petrol variants have relatively modest power and lower repair costs but the GT and electric variants are more expensive to cover thanks to their advanced features and higher value.
