Who Opel Insignia 1.8 suits in Warsaw
In Warsaw, the Opel Insignia is a car for a longer rental. It suits people who come to the capital for a contract or a training course and commute every day from a rented flat to work for a few weeks, as well as families who want to go to the seaside or the Masurian lakes in one large car instead of two smaller ones.
The Insignia is long and wide, so parking in the narrow streets of Old Praga or Saska Kępa takes a moment of patience. On the S8 expressway or the A2 motorway, on the other hand, it is stable and quiet, and the six-speed manual gearbox keeps revs low at a steady pace. Trips to Łódź or Lublin are comfortable even several times a week, because the mileage allowance adds up across the whole rental.
On a month-long rental the Insignia covers two roles well. During the week it is a car for work, taking you from Białołęka or Bemowo to an office in the centre, and at the weekend it is a car for a trip to Kampinos Forest or the Narew river with every seat taken.
Things worth knowing about the Opel Insignia 1.8
- The Insignia was named European Car of the Year 2009, an award voted by a jury of motoring journalists from across Europe.
- It was the first production car on GM's Epsilon II platform. In North America and China the same model was sold as the Buick Regal.
- The Insignia could be ordered with the Opel Eye camera, which read traffic signs and warned of lane departure. It was among the first systems of its kind in a car of this class.
- The first-generation Insignia was built at Opel's home plant in Rüsselsheim.
These facts are about the model generation and its history, not the equipment of this particular car.
Routes from Warsaw and the mileage allowance of Opel Insignia 1.8
The daily rate of Opel Insignia 1.8 includes 300 km, and the allowance adds up across the whole rental. For the shortest rental, 5 days, that is 1 500 km. Below you can see how much of it is left after coming back from popular routes. A kilometre over the allowance costs 1 PLN.
Distances and times are approximate, measured from the city centre on expressways and motorways, without stops. The renter fuels the car during the rental, and we hand it over with a full tank and take it back the same way.

We do not rent the other versions, but the table shows at a glance how they differ from the Opel Insignia 1.8.
Figures separated by a slash are the power or torque of successive variants of the same version (for example before and after the facelift) or of the versions named in the row. A range such as 136–163 PS covers several outputs of the same engine. Figures are for the European market and come from manufacturer material and technical data catalogues.

Opel Insignia 2.0 CDTI (A) or Opel Insignia 1.8?
2.0 diesel, 110–170 PS, BiTurbo 195 PS, up to 400 Nm, manual or automatic, 4x4 versions
The 2.0 CDTI diesel has more torque and uses less fuel on the road, and the stronger versions came with an automatic and 4x4. Our Insignia has a naturally aspirated 140 PS 1.8 petrol and a manual gearbox; it is quiet and simple to drive, and for a family trip around Poland it works just as well.
Opel Insignia 1.6 Turbo i 2.0 Turbo (A) or Opel Insignia 1.8?
1.6 Turbo 180 PS; 2.0 Turbo 220 PS or 250 PS (4x4)
The turbocharged petrols give the Insignia much more pace, and the strongest 250 PS 2.0 Turbo came only with 4x4. Our 1.8 Insignia is naturally aspirated, calmer and simpler, so it is a comfortable, predictable touring car rather than a fast one.
Opel Insignia OPC (A) or Opel Insignia 1.8?
2.8 turbo V6, 325 PS, 435 Nm, 4x4
The OPC is the sporty Insignia with a V6 and four-wheel drive, and the Unlimited version reached 270 km/h. It is a car for performance fans. Our 1.8 Insignia is a roomy family touring car that is far cheaper to run day to day.
Opel Insignia Sports Tourer i Country Tourer (A) or Opel Insignia 1.8?
Sports Tourer estate, raised Country Tourer estate (from 2013)
The first-generation Insignia came as a saloon, a liftback, the Sports Tourer estate and the raised Country Tourer. If you are looking for an Insignia estate for a house move or a trip with lots of luggage, also look at our seven-seat MPVs, which take a lot of luggage with the rear seats folded.
Opel Insignia B (2017–2022) or Opel Insignia 1.8?
second generation, Grand Sport and Sports Tourer, GSi 2.0 Turbo 260 PS
The Insignia B was the second generation of the model, with no saloon and a more modern interior. Ours is the first generation, European Car of the Year 2009, with simple controls and a roomy cabin.
