Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Illinois?

Your car’s make and model play a big role in determining insurance rates. Insurers account for multiple factors – including your vehicle’s make and model – to calculate premiums.

For example, insuring a Honda Accord LX around $2,227 per year for a full coverage policy. On the other hand, coverage for a Honda CR-V costs $1,846, a difference of $381.

Does your car’s model year affect insurance rates in Illinois?

In Illinois, as in most states, your car’s model year can impact your insurance rate. For example, the average annual premium for a 2023 Honda Accord LX is $3,846, compared to $2,142 for the 2024 model.

Quick tip: Know your state’s minimum insurance requirements before you buy

Car insurance requirements vary by state. In Illinois, you must have at least the minimum liability coverage to drive legally. This typically includes:

  • Bodily injury liability per person and per accident
  • Property damage liability

These limits are just the minimum required by law-many drivers opt for higher coverage to ensure better financial protection after an accident. Driving without the required coverage in Illinois can result in fines, license suspension or vehicle impoundment.

Auto insurance premiums vary significantly from city to city, so drivers need to be sure they’re getting the best deal. Insure.com has done the research for you. Get more information on auto insurance rates by city below.

How your car’s trim affects insurance rates in Illinois

In Illinois, insurance premiums vary depending on your vehicle’s trim. Higher trims with upgraded technology or more powerful engines are often more expensive to insure because of their costly replacement and repair costs.

For instance, full coverage car insurance for a 2023 Honda Accord LX in Illinois costs $3,846 per year. On the other hand, the Honda Accord EX-L trim costs $3,324 annually to insure – a difference of $522.

Luxury features such as premium audio systems can increase a vehicle’s value, leading to higher premiums. Similarly, performance trims with larger engines may raise insurance premiums due to the higher risk of accidents or speeding.
