Many factors go into the cost of a car insurance policy. One of the more important ones, of course, is the type of car being covered. We’ve compiled a list of vehicles that have built a reputation for having a positive impression on car insurance bills. Drivers who feel like they are paying too much might want to consider switching to one of the following when it comes time to buy a new car.
Ford Edge SE – Insure.com called this the most affordable car to insure in 2013. SUVs are more durable than other types of vehicles, and cost less to fix on average when damaged, hence the cheaper premium.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo – This car has performed particularly well in crash testing, with high ratings on both side and front crashes. Safer cars are usually cheaper to insure than ones that feel riskier.
Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium – The Outback 2.5i is recognized by Insure.com as the cheapest foreign car to insure. It’s steering features and off-road capabilities make it a reliable and safe vehicle.
Hyundai Santa Fe – The Santa Fe is known as a family vehicle, which helps in the eyes of insurance companies. Cars that don’t try to be flashy will generally come with lower insurance premiums.
Toyota Siena – Another “family-oriented” vehicle. Minivans like this one tend to be safe and economical. Insurance companies assume that minivan owners will be more responsible and less reckless with their driving.
Kia Sportage – The Kia Sportage is a crossover SUV like a few of the other vehicles mentioned. However, it is also a more affordable alternative. Cheaper cars are good for insurance rates, because less of an investment is being put at risk.
There are plenty of other affordable insurance options other than the ones listed. Of course, many other factors are considered when insurance companies calculate premiums.
