Admiral compared the cost of insuring five of the most popular MPVs for various families around the country. They found that even if you are a city slicker living in central London, the cost of insuring one can be less than £500, which would be cheaper than your average 4x4 or executive car. In fact all the vehicles Admiral looked at could be insured for between £287 and £470.
In recent years MPVs have come on leaps and bounds in style and the creativity of their design. From the granddaddy of them, the Renault Espace to the weird and wonderful Fiat Multipla, MPV designers have always kept one thing in mind; these cars are for families.
Admiral managing director, Jane Stone, said, "MPVs are the ultimate family vehicle. You can easily fit two or three kids, a couple of adults and the family dog into them. Our research shows that not only are the practical, they are amongst the best value cars to insure too."
Admiral compared the cost of one year's comprehensive insurance, with four different insurers for the following MPVs: VW Sharan TDI 1.9, Fiat Multipla ELX JTD 1.9, Ford Galaxy Ghia 2.3, Vauxhall Zafira Comfort 16v 2.2, Peugeot 807 GLX 2.0. All policies include £100 voluntary excess and legal cover. All drivers have 5 years no claims bonus.
Below is the complete list of vehicles and the cost to insure them.
