Average car insurance costs for top makes and models
Your car model affects insurance premiums because auto insurers consider a vehicle’s value, repair costs, and safety ratings when setting rates.

The 10 cheapest cars to insure

Older vehicles also have lower insurance costs. New vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including features like automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring, cost up to 37.6% more to repair than cars without ADAS, according to AAA.[6] Among the 10 cheapest cars to insure, shown in the table below, 2009 is the most recent model year.

The 10 most expensive cars to insure
Luxury vehicles are more expensive to insure because they cost more to repair and have a higher risk of theft. The BMW M4, the most expensive car to insure, starts at $80,100, according to Edmunds.
The Toyota GR 86 is an exception, starting at about $30,000, according to Edmunds. Even lower-value sports cars are more expensive to insure because greater horsepower means a higher risk of damage in a crash. The table below shows the 10 cars with the highest insurance costs, according to Insurify data.
Vehicle Make | Vehicle Model | Average Annual Rate: Full Coverage |
---|---|---|
BMW | M4 | $3,832 |

Other factors that affect car insurance rates
The type of car you drive isn’t the only factor that influences insurance rates. Insurers also consider the following personal factors to determine your risk category and premium:
Age
Younger drivers are less experienced and more likely to get into an accident than older drivers, so they have higher average insurance premiums.
Driving record
Accident records and traffic violations factor into car insurance rates. People with a clean driving history pay less than people with prior incidents.
Location
Drivers in urban areas with higher accident and theft rates pay more for car insurance than drivers in rural locations with fewer claims.
Credit history
Insurers don’t directly consider your credit score when setting rates, but in most states, they can assign a credit-based insurance score based on your financial history. A good credit history can lower your premiums.
Coverage level
Full-coverage policies include comprehensive and collision coverage, which provide more financial protection than liability coverage, so premiums are higher.
How to save on car insurance
These tips can help you lower your car insurance premiums, regardless of which model you drive:
Bundle insurance policies. Many insurers offer discounts for bundling home and auto insurance policies.
Increase your deductible. Your deductible is the out-of-pocket cost you pay before insurers cover claims. Raising your deductible can lower your monthly premiums.
Drive safely. Driving cautiously and avoiding speeding violations can help you qualify for safe driver discounts.
Shop around. Every insurance company rates risk differently, so some insurers may offer lower rates for the same coverage. Compare car insurance quotes from multiple companies to find your lowest premium.
Insurance rates by car model FAQs
Find answers to the most commonly asked questions about how and why your car model affects insurance rates below.
Which model has the cheapest car insurance?
The Ford Windstar has the cheapest car insurance, at an annual average of $1,382 for full coverage. The minivan, discontinued in 2003, is relatively inexpensive for insurers to repair or replace, explaining its lower-than-average insurance rate.
Which car insurance company is the cheapest?
Every insurance company weighs your unique risk factors differently when determining your car insurance premiums. Rates from top companies start at $23 per month for liability-only coverage and $45 for full coverage. Comparing coverage from multiple insurers can help you find your best rate.
Does a car’s body type affect insurance?
Yes, a car’s body type affects insurance rates. The most expensive types of cars to insure are EVs and sports cars, with average annual full-coverage rates of $3,874 and $3,096, respectively, according to Insurify data. Minivans are the cheapest style of car to insure, with average annual premiums of $1,923.
Does a car’s trim affect car insurance?
Cars with higher trim levels have more features, making them more expensive to repair than cars with lower trim levels, so they also have higher average insurance rates.
How much car insurance do you need?
The right car insurance policy for you depends on how much financial protection you need. A full-coverage policy includes coverage for damage to your car from accidents you cause and other incidents like theft or falling objects, as well as liability insurance. A liability-only insurance policy has lower premiums but offers less protection in the event of an incident.
When can you drop comprehensive and collision coverage?
People who drive older or lower-value vehicles may choose to drop comprehensive and collision insurance. If the value of your car is lower than your annual full-coverage insurance premium, you can drop down to liability-only coverage to save money.
Methodology
Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
- Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
- Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
- No additional coverage
- Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
- Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
