Insurance groups and tax bands for Renault Clio models
How much you’ll pay for your car insurance cover will depend on several factors. Insurers consider various things when calculating your premium and one of these might be the insurance group of the vehicle you drive. These groups are numbered 1-50 and reflect the costs of parts and repairs on your particular model of car, with vehicles in the higher-numbered groups tending to be more expensive to insure.
Another banding system is used to figure out how much Vehicle Excise Duty you owe. This is a tax charged annually, and how much you’ll pay depends on the CO2 emissions of the model of your car.
Tax bands and Renault insurance groups for common editions of the Renault Clio include:
