At Insurify, our goal is to help customers compare insurance products and find the best policy for them. We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.

Subaru owners pay an average monthly cost of $83 for liability insurance and $169 for full-coverage insurance on their Forester. Insurers take many factors into account when setting your price, including your car’s age and condition, your age and marital status, education level, credit history, driving record, location, and more.
Foresters are a favorite of a wide variety of drivers thanks to their high safety ratings, reliability, performance, and affordability. Foresters cost a similar amount as compact SUV competitors like the Honda CR-V. Your Forester’s make and model will affect your insurance premium, but comparing multiple companies can help you secure the cheapest rates.
USAA, State Farm, and GEICO offer the cheapest car insurance rates for Subaru Foresters.
Subaru Foresters are a Top Safety Pick, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.[1]
Your car’s year, model, trim level, and any additional features can affect your rate and make you eligible for discounts.

Subaru Forester car insurance coverages
It may be tempting to choose the bare-minimum amount of coverage in order to get the lowest car insurance costs, but make sure you consider other options, too. The top insurance companies may offer these options for a reasonable rate, and they could really protect you in the event of a major accident.
Liability coverage
Every state except New Hampshire requires a certain amount of property damage and bodily injury liability insurance. This helps pay for any damage you cause, but it won’t cover your car. Since liability coverage doesn’t extend to your vehicle, it’s typically available for the lowest cost from most insurers.
Full coverage
By adding comprehensive and collision coverage to a minimum-coverage policy, a full-coverage policy comes with higher insurance premiums, but you’ll get the best protection for your Subaru vehicle. If you finance or lease your vehicle, your lender will probably require you to have this coverage to protect its investment.
Roadside assistance coverage
Subaru Foresters consistently appear in rankings of the most reliable cars with abundant safety features, but that doesn’t make them immune to problems — particularly if your drive takes you places you can’t get back out of. That’s where a roadside assistance policy can help at a relatively low cost.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
It’s a good idea to consider an uninsured/underinsured motorist policy, which protects you if someone who doesn’t have enough coverage or is driving without an insurance policy hits you.
Subaru Forester insurance FAQs
If you’re still unsure about which company to choose for insurance, here are some common answers to help give you more context.
Which company has the cheapest Subaru Forester insurance?
USAA charges the lowest Subaru insurance costs, followed by State Farm. You may be able to get cheaper rates if you have a clean driving record with no violations.
Are Subaru Foresters expensive to insure?
No — at least not compared to similarly sized SUVs. Foresters are actually the cheapest car to insure, according to Insurify’s car insurance comparison study. You may pay higher insurance rates if you have a history of recent accidents and tickets, so it pays to be a safe driver.
How much does it cost to insure a Subaru Forester?
The average monthly Subaru Forester insurance rates are $83 for state-minimum liability coverage and $169 for full-coverage car insurance.
How much is insurance on a 2015 Subaru Forester?
Unfortunately, car insurance quotes and information only extend back to 2019. For that Subaru model, the monthly cost of car insurance for a full-coverage single-car policy is $266. Car insurance rates are cheaper for older cars because they hold less value. A 2015 Forester driver can expect to pay less than a 2019 Forester driver if they have a clean record, for example.
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 50+ 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.
Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).
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
Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
