How much does it cost to insure a MINI in Australia?

Based on a variety of unique factors, including your driving history, the model and value of your MINI and more, the price of car insurance can vary significantly.

However, as an example, a 2020 MINI 3-Door Hatch Cooper F56 LCI might attract comprehensive insurance costs that vary from $1,022 to $2,725 annually (or $106 to $255 per month), with an excess of $900. These quote estimates are based on a number of important assumptions, including:

  • 40-year-old male homeowner living in Sydney (postcode 2000)
  • Maximum period without making a claim (no-claim bonus Rating 1)
  • Only used privately and for commuting
  • Average distance driven per year of 15,000km
  • No non-standard accessories or modifications

This range was obtained in June 2023 from a variety of car insurance providers, so it's important to remember that prices could change over time and across insurance applicants.

You can compare offers for a range of MINI models, which include:

  • 3-Door Hatch
  • 5-Door Hatch
  • Clubman
  • Convertible
  • Countryman

What factors can influence car insurance prices for my MINI?

Age and driving experience

Your age and driving experience are important factors in determining car insurance costs. Younger drivers with less experience on the road generally face higher premiums than older drivers due to their higher perceived risk of making a claim. As you gain more experience and maintain a clean driving record, your insurance costs may decrease over time.

Parking location

Although you may not think it, where you park your car can impact insurance costs. If you park your car in a secure garage or private driveway, it’s generally considered safer and may result in lower premiums. On the other hand, parking on the street or in high-risk areas can lead to higher overall insurance rates.

Annual distance driven

The distance you drive each year will also affect your insurance rates. Greater overall annual usage typically increases the risk of accidents in the eyes of insurers and therefore may result in higher premiums. Conversely, if you drive fewer kilometres per year, you may be eligible for lower rates.

Insurance excess

The excess is the amount you agree to pay out of pocket when making an insurance claim. Opting for a higher excess can lower your premiums since you take on more financial responsibility in the event of a claim. However, it's important to choose an excess level that you can comfortably afford in case of an accident.

Vehicle's value and condition

The value of your vehicle is a significant factor in determining insurance costs. Generally, more expensive MINI models may require higher premiums since their repair or replacement costs are greater. On the other hand, if you have a vehicle in poor condition, prices may be higher to compensate for an increased risk of malfunction.
