Those are.....insane insurance prices? Which country is this for? What kind of driver?

I got a new Volvo XC60 T8 last year(400bhp, £60k car), my fully comprehensive insurance as a 29 year old is...£400 a year. With their highest tier premium insurance option, with premium courtesy car, full EU cover, glass cover, full legal cover, 20 million euro liability cover....etc, full package basically.

Before that I had a Mercedes GLA45 AMG and my insurance was marginally more expensive, like £500 a year.

I can't believe any of the cars you listed would be more to insure than these two....so what gives? Why is it so expensive?



They're the quotes that I'm getting from my insurance company's website. For context, I am 27, live in Finland and don't have full bonuses.

Granted, the online prices usually suck compared to what you can get once you call (or get called by) an agent. If I tried buying my current insurance for my car it's giving me 1100 €/year whereas my actual price is 940 €/year.

A 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 (49,000 €) would cost me 1380 €/year or 2040 €/year with all bells and whistles.


You should be driving a more suitable car for Finland, like a Lada or a Volvo 240 imported from Sweden.
