Citroën Car Insurance
Citroën builds unpretentious, comfort-first cars, and the insurance groups match: the C1 starts around group 3, the C3 rarely leaves the low teens, and even the family-lugging Berlingo stays cheap to cover. It's one of the friendliest badges in the group tables.

Citroën Car Insurance — frequently asked questions
Are Citroëns cheap to insure?
Among the cheapest mainstream badges: C1 around group 3–8, C3 8–16, and even the Berlingo family car in single digits to mid-teens. There's no expensive-to-insure car in the current volume range.
What's a good cheap-insurance Citroën for a new driver?
The C1 (group 3–8) is squarely in first-car territory alongside the Aygo and 108 it shares a factory with. As always: check the exact car's group and history free by reg before committing.
Is a Berlingo expensive to insure because it's van-shaped?
No — the passenger Berlingo is rated as a car and sits in modest groups (8–18). Actual van variants are commercial-vehicle insurance, a different market with different pricing.
