The Vauxhall Corsa is a long-time rival to the Ford Fiesta as one of Britain’s most popular and best-selling hatchbacks. Vauxhall is a British manufacturer which became a subsidiary of multinational car company Stellantis in January 2021.
It also offers one of the best engines in its class – from 1.2l to 1.6l. If you’re buying new, you can choose between a petrol or electric engine. If you’re buying a used Vauxhall Corsa, you could also opt for a diesel engine.
Vauxhall Corsas can be among the cheapest cars to insure, but it will depend on which insurance group your specific model falls into as well as your driving and claims history, how old you are, and where you live.
For example, the Corsa Design CDTI (90) typically costs £945.86 a year to insure – it depends on the exact model and trim, but this car is usually insurance group 8.
The Corsa Energy A/C VVT costs an average of £326.64 for annual insurance; some models of this car with a 1-litre engine are in insurance group 2.

As well as the insurance group of the vehicle, your provider will also consider:
Insurers view younger drivers as being more likely to cause road accidents, so premiums tend to be higher
Living in an area that suffers from higher rates of car theft or vandalism is likely to increase your premiums
Your job might affect your premiums as some professions are deemed more-at-risk to road incidents than others
Having previous insurance claims or driving convictions tells insurers you’re more likely to make one in the future - so your premiums go up
Simply, the further you travel the more likely you are to have an accident. This is how insurers see it, and so price premiums accordingly
Where you leave your car also affects insurance costs - by parking your vehicle in a private garage or driveway, you could earn lower premiums
A Vauxhall Corsa is a good option for new drivers or learner drivers as it is relatively cheap to buy, inexpensive to run and combines practicality with style and technology. Models in low insurance groups will be particularly attractive to drivers purchasing a car for the first time, while there are some competitive finance deals available too.

Vauxhall Corsa drivers can choose from three different types of car insurance policy:
Fully comprehensive insurance covers both you and the third party if you’re involved in an accident. It’s typically the most complete protection you can get, as well as the cheapest

Third-party, fire and theft offers cover for damage done to a third-party, their vehicle or their property, but also adds cover for your own car if it's stolen or damaged by fire
£888.63 on average3
Third-party insurance is the minimum legal requirement to drive in the UK. In the event of an incident that’s your fault, your insurance will cover damage to the other party, but not to your own car

The Vauxhall Corsa has long been one of the most popular small cars in the UK thanks to its cheap running costs and reliability. It knocked rival the Ford Fiesta off the top spot in 2021 and was the second most popular car, behind the Nissan Qashqai, in 2022. The latest Corsa comes packed with tech, including wireless phone charging and 3D navigation, while the range of the electric version has been boosted to 255 miles with a 51kWh battery.

There are several ways you might be able to cut the cost of your car insurance:
Young drivers could benefit from having a telematics device (or black box) installed in their car to track their driving habits. As the insurer learns they are sensible, the premiums can reduce
In some cases – particularly if the damage is quite minor – it may be better to pay for the repairs yourself. This will protect your no-claims bonus which could add up to a sizeable discount if you build it up over the years
Car insurance providers sometimes offer extras when you buy a policy. Consider whether you really need them, and if you decide you do, see if they are cheaper being bought separately first
Adding a more experienced driver to your insurance policy can also cut premiums for younger motorists as insurers are reassured the driving responsibility is shared
