The Hyundai i10 is a small city produced by the Korean manufacturer since 2007. It’s one of the more affordable vehicles to buy, run and insure. In this guide, you’ll learn all you need to know about insuring a Hyundai i10.
Hyundai i10 insurance groups and cost by driver’s age
When it comes to car insurance, all vehicles are given a specific insurance group that ranges from 1 (cheapest) to 50 (most expensive) which helps determine the cost of your premium. Hyundai i10 models range from insurance groups 1 to 7, so you can generally expect the cost of insurance to be reasonable.
However, the the cost of insurance can vary between insurance groups based on a number of different factors including your car’s performance, safety features and cost of repair. For example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay around £695 for cover on a Hyundai i10 1.0 S Air 5d (insurance group 1), or around £689 for a Hyundai i10 1.2 Premium SE 5d Auto which falls into insurance group 7.
You can find the insurance group, and likely premium cost, of your Hyundai i10 model in the table below.
These rates are based on the average cost of cover for cars in the insurance groups shown, for drivers of different ages with a Newcastle (NE1) postcode, which our research suggests represents an average for insurance rates in the UK. Updated: June 2024 (source: Confused).

Hyundai i10 insurance cost by location

Which factors affect my Hyundai i10 insurance rate?
Along with the insurance group, there are other key factors that have a significant impact on your insurance premium costs:
Engine type and capacity. In general, the bigger the engine, the higher the cost of your insurance. An average 30-year-old may pay £553 for the 1.0-litre Hyundai i10 1.0 S 5d, but could pay around £689 for the 1.2 litre Hyundai i10 Premium SE 87PS 5d.
Driver location. Where you live helps determine the level of risk that your car may be stolen or you’ll be involved in an accident, and this affects the cost of insurance. For example, a 30-year-old in central London may pay £762 for insurance for a Hyundai i10 1.0 Go Edition 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £553.
Driver age. The younger you are, the more risk you present to insurers, and the more you’re likely to pay for insurance. The average 20-year-old driver in London may pay £3,289 for the Hyundai i10 1.2 Premium 5d Auto, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £805.
Other factors that influence the cost of your insurance include:
Whilst car insurance is a necessary expense, you don’t want it to leave you out of pocket. When searching for insurance, you’ll want to find the best deal for a price that’s within your budget. There are a few tricks you can try in order to save on your car insurance premiums, and we’ve listed them below.
Limit your car usage (where possible). Occasionally deciding to walk or get public transport, rather than using your car, can help to save on your premiums.
Pay annually rather than monthly. Whilst it might be scary to part with a large sum of money in one go, by paying annually you can save an average of £104.20 a year.
Install extra safety measures on your vehicle. The safer your car is, the less of a risk it will be for companies to insure. By adding extra safety measures, you’re quite likely to lower your premium.
Don’t just accept your renewal quote. Although it might be time consuming, when it’s time for renewal make sure you shop around and don’t just settle for the renewal price given to you – there may be cheaper options out there!
Bottom line
Despite being one of the cheapest cars to insure, this guide can help you reduce your premiums for insuring a Hyundai i10 even further.
