The vehicle you drive plays a big role in determining how much you pay for auto insurance. Insurers set rates based on factors like how expensive a vehicle’s repair costs are, how often a car is broken into or stolen, and even the likelihood of a vehicle getting into an accident. The cheapest cars to insure usually don’t cost as much to repair after a claim, while those with higher repair costs — like luxury vehicles and sporty models — tend to be more expensive to insure.

Auto insurance rates vary by company, so shopping around and comparing quotes from multiple insurers is the best way to find cheap car insurance.

Methodology

NerdWallet averaged insurance estimates for this vehicle in all ZIP codes in any of the 50 states and Washington, D.C., where rates are available. Our sample profile is a 35-year-old driver with good credit and no tickets or violations. Our “good” and “poor” credit rates are based on credit score approximations and do not account for proprietary scoring criteria used by insurance providers.

We averaged rates between male and female drivers and assumed 12,000 annual miles driven. These are average rates, and your rate will vary based on your personal details, state and insurance provider.

For full coverage policies, we used the following coverage limits:

• $100,000 bodily injury liability per person.

• $300,000 bodily injury liability per accident.

• $50,000 property damage liability per accident.

• $100,000 uninsured motorist coverage per person.

• $300,000 uninsured motorist coverage per accident.

• Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible.

• Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible.

Where required by law, minimum additional coverages were added. Some policies include additional coverages at the insurer’s discretion.

The analysis included the largest insurance companies in each state; smaller insurers were also included when rates were available. Although it’s one of the largest insurers in the country, Liberty Mutual is not included in our rates analysis due to a lack of publicly available information.
