Cheapest car insurance rates by vehicle type
When comparing new or used vehicles, it’s a good idea to have a basic understanding of which types of vehicles have more favorable auto insurance rates. For example, if you’re shopping for a family vehicle, it’s smart to know which size of SUV or maybe even which minivan is cheapest to insure.
The chart below shows the average cost of auto insurance rates in Clovis for each of the different vehicle segments. Typically, compact SUVs, vans, and midsize pickups tend to have the least expensive average rates, while sports cars and performance luxury models have the most expensive average cost to insure.
These general rates make for a good starting point, but the variation within each segment shows why it’s much better to compare rates for specific models rather than the segment as a whole.
For example, in the small luxury car segment, rates range from the Acura Integra costing $1,494 per year for a full coverage policy to the BMW M340i at $2,052 per year, a difference of $558 within that segment.
In the midsize luxury SUV segment, average rates vary from the Jaguar E-Pace at $1,572 per year up to the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE63 costing $2,832 per year, a difference of $1,260 within that segment.
Lastly, in the small SUV segment, rates range from the Subaru Crosstrek at $1,242 per year up to the Ford Mustang Mach-E at $1,964 per year.
Comparing car insurance is not difficult, but when you realize that similar models can have dramatically different rates, it can help you avoid sticker shock when you buy your first policy.
