Average rates in the chart above range from $1,238 per year for a 60-year-old driver with $1,000 deductibles to $3,784 per year for a 20-year-old driver with $250 deductibles. From a monthly standpoint, the same rates range from $103 to $315 per month.

Average rates make some assumptions like the driver is 40 years old, male, and has a clean driving record. Obviously, not every driver is going to fit into that category, so the list below includes some additional situations where rates fall outside the average.

  • Not everyone has a spotless driving record, and a major driving conviction like reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, or a DUI could increase rates by $1,510 or more each year.
  • Even minor driving citations like speeding tickets could increase the annual cost of auto insurance in Maryland by $428 or more for the average driver.
  • Having an at-fault accident on your driving record could cause your rates to increase by as much as $674 each year.
  • The insured vehicle has a huge impact on car insurance quotes. For example, insuring a Honda CR-V instead of a Ford Bronco could save as much as $436 per year on your car insurance bill.

    Top 75 Cheapest Car Insurance Rates in Maryland

    Cheapest car insurance by vehicle segment

    The previous table ranking the top 75 cheapest vehicles to insure in Maryland tends to be heavy on compact and midsize cars and SUVs, which are generally the cheapest types of vehicles to insure.

    The list below takes each vehicle segment and breaks out the cheapest model to insure in each. Each vehicle name links to a more detailed insurance cost analysis, and rates are shown for both annual and monthly terms.

    Most of the more popular vehicles sold in Maryland do not make the lists of cheapest vehicles to insure. Models like the Subaru Crosstrek, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue do because they are both popular AND cheap to insure, but others like the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, and Chevy Silverado have more costly insurance rates.

    The next chart takes 20 of the more popular vehicles sold in Maryland and ranks them by average car insurance cost. The nine cheapest models (through the Honda Civic) made the list of the 75 cheapest vehicles to insure, but the remaining models have high enough rates that they did not make the cut.

    Additional rates and observations

    Below are some additional situations that can cause car insurance rates to fluctuate from the average. Some are policy coverage changes that can impact rates and others are differences in driver risk profile.

    • Fewer accidents means cheaper car insurance. Having at-fault accidents will cost you more, potentially up to $762 per year for a 30-year-old driver and even $498 per year for a 60-year-old driver.
    • Car insurance for teens can be expensive. Average teen driver car insurance quotes in Maryland cost $5,868 per year for a 16-year-old driver, $5,488 per year for a 17-year-old driver, $5,126 per year for a 18-year-old driver, and $4,640 per year for a 19-year-old driver.
    • Obey the law to get lower insurance rates. To get cheaper car insurance quotes, it pays to avoid traffic citations. Just a couple of minor driving offenses can increase the cost of a policy by as much as $428 per year. Major misdemeanors such as driving under the influence or reckless driving could raise rates by an additional $1,510 or more.
    • High-risk Maryland car insurance can get expensive. For a 40-year-old driver, having to buy a high-risk insurance policy can cause rates to increase by $1,972 or more per year.
