Car insurance cost for a Chevrolet Equinox, by company

Car insurance rates also vary by company – each insurer has a proprietary rating algorithm that sets rates based on risk. So, insurance for a Chevrolet Equinox may be more expensive from one insurer than another, so you get quotes from several insurers before committing to a policy.

“Insurance premiums vary by vehicle model and trim level because insurance companies use this information to predict the risk of the driver and potential financial loss, and hence the risk to the insurer,” says Jim Brau, Joel C. Peterson professor of finance at Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Business. “Certain models and trims – for example, a brand-new fire-engine red – convertible sports car, turn out to be more risky to the insurance company than a 15-year-old sedan that can barely top out at 65 mph.”

Which body styles are cheaper or more expensive for car insurance?

Sedans tend to be more expensive to insure than trucks or SUVs for several reasons – they’re a higher theft risk and they’re smaller than SUVs and trucks, so they are more likely to be damaged in a crash with a larger vehicle.

Below, see annual rates for full coverage for sedans, SUVs and trucks.

Body typeAverage annual premiumAverage monthly premium
Convertible$2,768 $231
Electric$2,799 $233

How does my car’s trim level affect car insurance?

A car’s trim level can significantly impact insurance rates due to the varying features of each package. Higher trim levels often include powerful engines and luxury options that could increase the vehicle’s value and the cost to insure it.

“Some models and trims are more expensive to replace or repair – another reason the premium on them is higher. It all comes down to estimating the risk of future payout from the insurance company,” Brau says. “Models and trims that historically have been more expensive to insurance firms will carry with them higher car insurance rates.”

Additionally, advanced safety features in upper trim levels may lower rates, while customizations and added performance capabilities typically raise them due to higher repair costs. Insurers consider all these factors when determining premiums, making the trim level a crucial variable in the cost of car insurance.

Methodology

Insure.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to calculate average auto insurance rates for vehicles from 2023.

Our hypothetical driver is a 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/100 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $100,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage.

Rates for vehicles up until 2023 includes uninsured motorist coverage (since some states require it, we do it for all) and PIP or Medical Payments, if it is required by state law. This hypothetical driver has a clean record and good credit.

For liability 100/300 is rates the same hypothetical driver but with liability limits of 100/300/100, uninsured/underinsured motorist in matching amounts and PIP or MedPay, if required by state. We recommend limits this high, even if you have only liability coverage. A state-minimum policy includes only the basic state liability limits and any other state-required coverages, such as uninsured motorist or PIP.

Averages were calculated using data from six large carriers, such as Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. Rates were averaged across multiple ZIP codes and insurance companies. Average rates are for comparative purposes; your rate will depend on your personal factors.
