What affects Nissan insurance premiums?

Insurers price each car on risk, so two Nissan owners can pay very different premiums. The main factors are:

The specific model, its value, age and how likely it is to be stolen
Where you live and where the car is parked overnight
Your age, driving history and previous claims
The cover level (comprehensive, third-party) and the excess you choose
Security features such as an approved tracking device or immobiliser
