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 Rhode Island can result in fines, license suspension or vehicle impoundment.

How your car’s trim affects insurance rates in Rhode Island

Insurance rates often vary based on your car’s trim. Companies consider the vehicle’s value, cost of repairs, safety equipment and theft risk. Premium trims with upgraded technology or more powerful engines usually mean higher premiums due to their higher replacement and repair costs.

For example, in Rhode Island, full coverage car insurance for a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs $4,199 a year, while the higher-end Accord EX-L trim costs $3,527 annually – a difference of $672 per year.

Luxury features like high-end sound systems or advanced infotainment can increase insurance rates, since they add to the car’s value. Similarly, performance trims with larger engines often increase premiums due to a greater risk of accidents or speeding.
