$240 / 6 months (or $40 a month if you like to see monthly cost). Full coverage with towing/labor added and $1000 deductible. This is with USAA (Military affiliation required - my dad is a veteran and I've been with USAA since I was 16).
This is on a 2011 Sahara 2 door. My insurance went down almost $80 every 6 months versus the same coverage on my 2001 Nissan Frontier. Jeeps have lower insurance costs with my company for some reason.
I'm accident/ticket free (knocking on wood) and a 30 something married male. I have two automobiles on this policy (which gives a discount) so that's something to consider as well (the cost listed here does not include the premium for the other car - I wish it did).
I thought I was paying too much but after looking at what some of the other posters are paying - I'm happy with my rates.

Since most folks are financing their vehicles, the finance company will insist that you have full coverage. Their name is listed on your policy, and if you drop coverage, they will be notified and they will "assign" you insurance. You DO NOT want to pay the going rate for that! Even if you're not financing your vehicle, it's a good idea to keep full coverage on a vehicle for about five years minimum (from new). Because Jeep's hold resale value longer, or if you have financing further out, you may need/want to keep full coverage even longer. Once you actually own the vehicle (no finance company), you need to ask yourself if you're prepared to accept no payment in the event that your vehicle it totaled/stolen. If the answer is yes, then drop everything but liability (which is required by state law). Because vehicles are so expensive, BTW, it's a good idea to keep much higher liability limits--as you have done--than most states require.
Oh, let me add: There is another coverage called uninsured motorist. In some states this covers your vehicle and yourself (medical) if the other person is at fault and doesn't have insurance. In other states (such as Oklahoma), this covers only your medical expenses. Since Oklahoma has 30 percent of drivers driving without insurance (yes, it's illegal), I wish that their uninsured motorist did cover vehicle damage. But, since I have health/medical coverage through Tricare Prime, I do not carry Oklahoma uninsured motorist. If I did and someone was at fault in an accident with me, then Tricare would bill my auto insurance company for my medical bills. Without it, Tricare picks up the tab. I prefer the latter since anytime an insurance company pays you/for you, I feel at risk of a rate increase.
Bottom line: It's difficult to compare everyone's payment because we don't know their coverages, and location has a large effect on how much it costs.

WOW... YOU Guys all pay a lot...
I'm 32, spotless record... I pay around $240/year for comprehensive, with a $250 deductable...
State Farm,
they also insure the house, buisness, wife's car, and life insurance for us. So, I'm sure we get a bit of a discount that way... but... thier prices have always been very good for us.

$624 per year, for a 2011 JK, the mods are covered too. I am 36, but my wife is first driver on it.
I have a reduction for having 2 cars and a tractor under the same contract.
