Cheapest Cars To Insure

Consider Which Cars are Cheap To Insure

When you think about the price of a new car you tend to just consider the actual price you pay for the car. But there are other costs that are not reflected in the sticker price. One of those costs is insurance. As a rule, the cheaper the car, the cheaper the insurance. Domestic models are generally less expensive than their foreign counterparts. Also 4 door cars are cheaper to insure than two doors. Four cylinder engine cars are less to insure than cars with more powerful motors.

Some of the increased cost of insurance has do with the cost of repairs. In general, the more expensive cars cost more to fix. For instance some luxury cars have aluminum body panels that are more expensive to repair or replace than the sheet metal variety. The insurance company knows this and will increase your rates accordingly.

 

Insurance companies also don’t like high horsepower cars. They figure if you buy a car with excess horsepower, you bought it because you like to go fast. Statistics and insurance claims support that assumption. Small sports cars are more likely to be involved in crashes than your basic small economy car.

 

Sport Utility vehicles even though they are not fast cars tend to cost more to insure because of the damage they inflict. If you drive one of those and hit another smaller car, chances are you will cause significant damage. That is why the insurance company will generally raise your liability premium (which covers damage caused to other cars) when you buy an SUV.

 

So what’s the cheapest car to insure, and what’s the most expensive –
