(May 2008) Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium, and can be thought of as a guaranteed small loss to prevent a large, possibly devastating loss. An insurer is a company selling the insurance; an insured or policyholder is the person or entity buying the insurance. The insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage, called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.

Resolved Question: What is a fast car that is in a relativley low insurance group? (Answers: 11) (Comments: 0)

I was looking at a 1.6 Honda Civic Type S as that is insurance group 6, but they seem to be hard to come by. They are mostly 2.0 and that is group 11 which is too high as I am only 19. Budget is around £3500. Any ideas welcome. Can go over budget and put the car on finance for the right car.

Resolved Question: What would be the best insurance group to go in, if I am a first time car owner/driver? (Answers: 6) (Comments: 0)

Hi, I am going to turn 17 in the autumn and I am looking for a first (used) car. But I am unsure about which insurance group is the best to go in? Someone told me I could get insured fairly cheaply on Group 5? I would like a reliable car, at the moment I am looking at Ford Focus, Volkswagen Polo, and Fiat Punto. I want it to be fairly new, and look good. I can spend up to £2000. Hope you can help,
