Skoda Yeti insurance group and cost

The Skoda Yeti is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Czech manufacturer since 2009. It’s a reasonably priced vehicle to insure considering its size and power. Below, you’ll learn the key facts about buying insurance for a Skoda Yeti.

Skoda Yeti insurance groups and cost by driver’s age

Skoda Yeti models range from insurance groups 9 to 24, so you can generally expect the cost of your insurance to be quite reasonable.

However, 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 £537 for cover on a Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI E 5d (insurance group 9) or around £815 for a Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI CR (170bhp) Laurin + Klement 4×4 Outdoor 5d, which falls in insurance group 24. In this example, the vehicle that is fifteen insurance groups higher is an extra £143, which comes as no surprise.

Which factors affect my Skoda Yeti insurance rate?

Along with the insurance group, there are other key factors that impact your insurance premium costs:

• Engine type and capacity. If your vehicle has a large engine, you will likely pay more for your car insurance. An average 30-year-old may pay £537 for the 1.2-litre Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI S 5d, but could pay around £706 for the 2.0-litre Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI CR (140bhp) SE 4×4 Outdoor 5d. In this example, the 2-litre Skoda Yeti is an extra £101 to insure than the 1.2-litre model.
• 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 £1,465 for insurance for a Skoda Yeti 1.6 TDI CR SE GreenLine II Outdoor 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £674.
• Driver age. The younger you are, the more risk you represent to insurers and the more you’re likely to pay for insurance. The average 20-year-old driver in London may pay £4,635 for the Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI CR Monte Carlo 5d, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £1,203.
