Vehicle Crime Rates in Birmingham, UK

In the year ending February 2024, there are 13.1 vehicle crimes a year per 1,000 people in Birmingham. These statistics reflect NimbleFins analysis from data from UK Crime Statistics. Vehicle crime rates are important because they influence car insurance premiums—cars located in areas of higher crime are more likely to be stolen. Vehicle crime rates are much higher in some neighborhoods, which is part of the reason for differential car insurance quotes by postcode.

The safest areas in Birmingham with the lowest vehicle crime rates are in the north: B74, B65 and B44, covering, Four Oaks, Mere Green, Little Aston, Streetly, Rowley Regis, Perry Barr, Kingstanding and Great Barr.

Methodology

In order to determine what a Birmingham driver will typically pay for comprehensive car insurance and to pick out the cheapest car insurance companies, we gathered quotes for a sample driver from 40 UK car insurance brands across 10 Birmingham postcodes. To find a sample price for each Birmingham neighborhood in our study, we took the 5 cheapest quotes available at the time. It's critical to shop around for car insurance, as we noticed some brands charge 2X or 3X as much as others—comparing prices to find the best deal can save you over £1,500 a year.

Our sample driver was a 30-year-old male driver with a Full UK Licence and 5 years of No Claims Discount who drives a five-year-old 2015 Ford Fiesta (the UK's most popular car). Insurance is quoted with a start date 3 weeks later (buying car insurance early can save you money!). Our sample driver parks on a private driveway and drives under 7,000 miles per year. Note: these quotes are for a theoretical driver—you may get better or worse quotes when you enter your details. Please note that many insurance companies wouldn't return a quote for a "theoretical" driver so you may very well find other companies offer cheaper quotes! We tested prices for the following ten Birmingham neighborhoods:

  • Moseley
  • Edgbaston
  • Kings Heath
  • Selly Oak
  • Bearwood
  • Erdington
  • Digbeth
  • Bordesley Green
  • Washwood Heath
  • Handsworth

Altogether we collected over 500 quotes from the following 40 car insurance brands. Not all companies returned quotes for each neighborhood.

Limitations

You may notice that some household insurance names are not included in the list of brands we surveyed, such as Admiral or Direct Line. Unfortunately, not all quote systems allow you to get a sample quote for a hypothetical car and driver. For companies that require information such as the car registration number and driver's licence number, we were unable to get quotes. This means that you may find an even cheaper quote for cover than we found in our survey!

Also, we excluded results from one company that consistently quoted cheap prices but imposed an excessively high excess: the excess for Doddle Cover quotes in our survey was a whopping £1,500, 3X the excess on most other policies. The excess is critical because you need to contribute this amount towards any claims—which not only means you'd need to have this amount of money at your disposal should you need it, but in the event of a claim you'll get less cover from the insurance company.
