How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Toyota 86
To protect your Toyota 86 from unexpected claims and repair costs, you need to carry the right amount of car insurance. A liability policy may meet state-minimum insurance requirements but fall short if you’re involved in an accident that damages your vehicle.
Here are several different types of insurance to consider.[4]
Liability coverage
Most states require drivers to have liability insurance to cover injuries and property damage they cause to others in an at-fault accident. It doesn’t cover your own vehicle, so if you damage your Toyota 86 in an accident, you’ll need additional coverage to avoid paying out of pocket.
Collision coverage
This pays to repair or replace your Toyota 86 if you hit another vehicle or object, regardless of fault. Given the 86’s sports car profile and potentially high repair costs, collision coverage is a good idea even if you fully paid off your car loan.
Comprehensive coverage
This covers non-collision events like theft, vandalism, hail damage, or hitting an animal. For example, if a tree branch falls on your parked GR86, comprehensive coverage pays for the damage minus your deductible.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
If a driver with little or no insurance hits your car, this coverage helps pay for your medical bills and car repairs. It’s especially useful in states with high rates of uninsured drivers.
Medical payments/personal injury protection (PIP)
These cover medical costs for you and your passengers, regardless of who’s at fault. PIP may also cover lost wages and other expenses, depending on your state’s requirements.
Toyota 86 car insurance FAQs
If you’re considering a Toyota 86 or already own one, here are answers to some of the most common questions about insuring this sporty coupe.
Mile Auto typically offers the lowest rates for Toyota 86 insurance, but it’s only available in certain states and is a pay-per-mile company. For more traditional insurers, The General and Dairyland are affordable options.
Compared to sedans and compact cars, the Toyota 86 is more expensive to insure due to its classification as a sports car and higher repair costs. But it’s generally comparable to insurance rates on similar performance models.
The average cost to insure a Toyota 86 is about $142 per month for liability-only coverage and $266 for full coverage. But rates vary based on your age, location, and driving history.
The Toyota 86 offers excellent handling and a manageable power level, but higher insurance costs, rear-wheel drive, and a manual transmission might make it better suited for more experienced drivers rather than first-time car owners.[5]
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.
