Renault Car Insurance — frequently asked questions
Are Renaults cheap to insure?
Yes — Clio (group 3–15), Captur and the volume range all sit low, and the Zoe is one of the cheapest EVs to cover. Only Alpine-fettled performance trims price up.
What do I need to know about insuring a used Renault Zoe?
Whether the battery is owned or leased. Many pre-2020 Zoes carry a transferring battery lease — declare it when quoting so the cover position on the pack is explicit. Confirm ownership from the paperwork before buying.
What insurance group is a Renault Clio?
From group 3 (older entry trims) to the mid-teens for the punchier current engines. Check the exact car free by reg — trim moves Clio groups more than generation does.
