Insuring Plymouth’s favorite cars, trucks, and SUVs
The auto insurance rates mentioned above take all 2024 vehicle models and average them, which is suitable when making general comparisons such as the cost for different driver ages or locations.
Average car insurance rates work well when trying to find the answer to questions like “is Plymouth auto insurance cheaper than Minneapolis?” or “is Minnesota auto insurance cheaper than Arizona?”.
For deeper car insurance cost comparisons, however, the data will be better if we do a rate analysis for the specific vehicle being insured. Every make and model has unique characteristics for calculating how much car insurance costs and this data allows for detailed comparisons.
The chart below breaks down average auto insurance rates in Plymouth for some of the most popular cars, trucks, and SUVs.
When popular vehicles are compared to the earlier rankings table showing the top 30 models with the cheapest average auto insurance quotes, the vast majority cost more to insure.
Expensive rates could be due to things like a more expensive vehicle, like an Audi RS 6 that has an average MSRP of $125,800 or a Tesla Model X which has an average cost of $68,590, or perhaps a higher potential for liability or medical claims like a Mazda 3, GMC Yukon XL, or Chevy Camaro.
Let’s quickly review some of the concepts that were covered up to this point.

Saving money on auto insurance
Resourceful drivers in Plymouth should always be searching for ways to reduce the monthly expense for insurance, so take a minute to read through the savings concepts in this next list and it’s very possible you can save a little cash on your next renewal.
- Stay claim free. Auto insurance companies offer a discount if you have no claims. Insurance is intended to be used for significant claims, not small claims.
- Auto insurance is cheaper with higher deductibles. Increasing deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $300 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $588 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
- Check your credit score. Insureds with excellent credit scores of 800+ could save as much as $256 per year compared to a lower credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a weak credit rating could cost up to $297 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
- If your car is older, remove unneeded coverages. Dropping physical damage coverage (comprehensive and collision) from older vehicles whose value has decreased will reduce the cost of car insurance substantially.
- Shop your coverage around. Taking 5-10 minutes before every policy renewal to get some free car insurance quotes can save more money than you might think. Rates change often and you can switch anytime.
- Compare rates before buying a car. Different models, and even different trim levels of the same model, have significantly different auto insurance rates, and auto insurance companies can sell policies with widely varying rates. Get quotes to compare the cost of insurance before you buy a new car so you can avoid insurance sticker shock when you see your first insurance bill.
