Cars with low car tax and cheap insurance bands

If you’re looking for a car that’s affordable, it’s important to take tax and insurance costs into consideration.

Car insurance is worked out based on a number of factors including a vehicle’s safety and security features, its performance and the cost of replacement parts. Car vehicle tax rates are based on either engine size or fuel type and CO2 emissions, depending on when the vehicle was registered.

Let’s take a look at some popular models that have low car tax and fall into a cheap insurance band.
