If you are lucky enough to own a Nissan Qashqai and are looking for insurance, Free Price Compare can help you to get the best deals.

The Nissan Qashqai is one of the most popular SUVs around and this is due to the fact that it scores well against other vehicles and even won AutoTrader's Best City Driving Car in 2020. It has been praised for its suspension and its comfort and is the ideal family car with a large boot space. The cost of insuring your Nissan Qashqai will depend on which model you own, but simply by using the Free Price Compare comparison tool and entering some basic information such as your Nissan Qashqai registration number, you can compare the best deal to suit your needs.

We have over 10 years of experience and compare costs and policies from over 100 insurance providers. When sitting down to compare prices, make sure you have your drivers license handy and be prepared to provide information including where your car is parked, any no claims bonuses you have accrued, your occupation, age and address and whether you drive purely for pleasure, or for work. You will also need to confirm if you are the only driver, or if you wish to insure other members of your family, which will require you to also provide their details.

Insurance companies in a Free Price Compare search will offer you different prices based on the policy you require, including a third party only policy, third party fire and theft or fully comprehensive cover for your Nissan Qashqai. Other decisions you will need to make, include how much voluntary excess you wish to pay in the event of a claim. The higher the amount, the lower your premium will be.

To save yourself even more money, you can choose to pay your premium annually, instead of in monthly or quarterly instalments. You can also agree to have a 'Black Box' fitted which monitors your speed and mileage and finally our best tip is don't agree to auto renew! Each time your policy is up for renewal, run a Free Price Compare search and see if you can save more money by switching.

Driving convictions can significantly impact your premiums:

• Minor offences like speeding can increase premiums by 20-30%.
• More serious convictions can lead to much higher increases or even difficulty getting insured.

The good news? Convictions usually become "spent" after a certain period, typically 3-5 years.

Your postcode can have a surprising impact on your Qashqai insurance:

1. Urban areas typically see higher premiums due to increased risk of theft and accidents.
2. Rural areas often enjoy lower rates, but watch out for higher risk of animal collisions.
3. Some UK regions are known for higher insurance costs:
   • London (highest average premiums)
   • Manchester
   • Birmingham

Tip: If you're moving, check insurance quotes for your new postcode before committing. The difference can be substantial.

Qashqai models span several insurance groups:

• 1.3 DiG-T Visia: Group 14
• 1.3 DiG-T Acenta Premium: Group 17
• 1.7 dCi N-Connecta: Group 20
• 1.3 DiG-T Tekna+: Group 23

Remember: Lower groups generally mean lower premiums.

The Qashqai's strong resale value can influence your insurance:

• Higher resale values can lead to slightly higher premiums, as the car is worth more to replace.
• However, it also means lower depreciation, which can offset insurance costs over time.
• Insurers may offer better rates for models known to hold their value well.

Tip: Consider gap insurance if you've bought a new Qashqai, to cover the difference between the insurance pay out and the outstanding finance in case of a total loss.

Be cautious with modifications:

• Most modifications will increase your premium.
• Even minor changes like alloy wheels or tinted windows should be declared.
• Some performance upgrades could significantly hike your insurance costs.

Fact: According to Admiral Insurance, failing to declare modifications could invalidate your policy.
