Default Jeep Wrangler Sport 4WD Is The Least Expensive Car To Insure in US

Well this is good news for current and future owners. To be honest I would have never guessed. What are you guys paying in your state?



From the article:
So what’s the least expensive vehicle to insure in the US? The Jeep Wrangler Sport 4WD. It turns out the Wrangler can cost as little as $694 (in Maine) annually, or as much as $2,027 (in Michigan). But the average rate in the US is $1,134. That’s even cheaper than the Smart ForTwo Pure ($1,186) and the Dodge Grand Caravan SE Plus ($1,162). And with all that, go buy a Wrangler.

One of the cheapest in Canada as well. Makes perfect sense given that its basically a brick on wheels...

Slow moving, high visibility, often armored up and not always the go to commuter vehicle all adds up to less insurance claims and ultimately cheaper to insure.

Last time I checked my old 99 corolla was twice as much to insure than a new jeep. That thing was a death trap though...

It saddens me.

17 year old with an accident. 3 vehicles, I pay $400/month for that craziness on South Florida.

Edit... I wrote less than what I thought.... My KID is 17 and has thrown my insurance out of whack!

In a perfect world, the previous statement would've read, "I have a 17 year old with an accident...."

We can restore order!

Did you say you're 17 with 3 vehicles? I would have guessed that would be the hard part. Are you Mark Zuckerburg?

Until you're 25, they rob you. Only 8 more years to go.

No no. I thought I wrote more but my iPad is misleading.

I'm 37. Wife's 45. My kid is 17. Trust me, at 17 I rocked a 77 F100. Fun times.

I see. I was gonna say, if you're 17 with 3 cars, you don't have a problem yet!
