Compare car insurance in Leicester

Car insurance costs vary quite significantly by location and it is therefore important that you enter your postcode correctly so that the relevant information is returned from our database when collecting quotes for you. The wrong postcode on a policy can invalidate claims!

Leicester is one of the largest 15 cities in the UK (by population) and it is well-known that car insurance costs more in cities than in small towns or rural areas. This is usually because many cities have a higher crime rate, and drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents when in a built-up area. These factors will bump up the insurance premiums due to the insurer's risk assessment.

Despite being a fairly large city, Leicester is not as expensive for car insurance as the likes of London, Liverpool, or Manchester. According to research, Liverpool is the most expensive major UK city for car insurance followed by Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford, and London. By contrast, the cheapest cities were Aberdeen, Perth, Truro, Inverness, Winchester, and Swansea [1].

What other factors influence the cost?

As well as your Leicester postcode, there are many other things that insurers take into account when working out your premiums. The most notable of these are your age, the make, model and age of your vehicle, where the vehicle is kept overnight (street or garage), how long you have been driving, your driving record/history (fines, claims, accidents etc.) and the size of your no claims bonus.
