What affects your car insurance rate in Utah?

  • Your car’s make, model, year and trim
  • Your location within Utah
  • Your coverage level
  • Your driving history, credit score and vehicle storage

Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Utah?

A vehicle’s make and model can significantly impact car insurance rates. ‘Make’ refers to the brand and ‘model’ refers to the specific model you drive. For example, Honda (make) Accord (model).

Insurers price based on how much a vehicle costs to repair or replace, how often that model is involved in claims, and how frequently it’s stolen. Two vehicles at the same price point can carry meaningfully different premiums.

For example, full coverage for a Honda Accord LX costs $2,167 per year in Utah, while the average premium for a Honda CR-V is $1,849 – a difference of $318.

Popular cars aren’t always cheaper to insure

High theft rates or expensive repair costs can push premiums up on common models. Check insurance costs before you buy, not after.

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

Newer cars generally cost more to insure because they are more expensive to repair or replace.

In Utah, insuring a 2024 Honda Accord LX costs $2,107, while the 2025 version costs $2,101.

However, older vehicles aren’t always cheaper – lack of safety features or costly parts can keep premiums high.

Check your state’s minimum coverage requirements

Every state sets its own minimum car insurance requirements, and Utah is no exception. To drive legally, you’ll need at least the minimum liability coverage, which typically includes:

According to III (Insurance Information Institute), state-required minimums are usually not able to cover the costs of a serious crash, so it’s important to consider higher levels of coverage for financial protection (III, n.d.). Not carrying the required coverage in Utah can lead to fines, license suspension and even vehicle impoundment.

How does your car’s trim affect insurance rates in Utah?

Insurance rates often vary based on your car’s trim. Trim refers to the specific version of a model with different features, equipment, or engine options, such as LX, EX, or Sport.

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 Utah, full coverage car insurance for a 2024 Honda Accord LX costs $2,107 a year, while the higher-end Accord EX-L trim costs $2,176 annually – a difference of $69 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.

That upgrade can cost more than you think

Moving to a higher trim level can raise your insurance premium due to increased vehicle value and repair costs – not just the sticker price. Before choosing a trim, it’s worth getting a quote on each option to see how the price difference carries over to your insurance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average cost of car insurance in Utah?

How can I lower my car insurance premium in Utah?

Discounts for safe driving, good grades or low annual mileage can also add up.

Does my credit score affect car insurance rates in Utah?
