Ford Kuga insurance groups and tax bandings
Insurers collate lots of information when deciding on the best premium they can offer you. One factor that some insurers consider is the insurance group, which uses a banding system from 1-50 that accounts for the risk and cost associated with a given model of car. Car insurance groups are explained in more detail here.
All vehicles on UK roads will need to pay their annual VED (Vehicle Excise Duty). This is a tax which varies depending on a given car’s CO2 emissions.
