The following infographic displays average car insurance rates for a 2024 Equinox with a range of different policy situations. Different driver ages, driving records, and policy deductible amounts can make a big difference in how much Equinox insurance costs.

The key takeaway from this image is the fact that younger drivers and high-risk drivers will have much higher car insurance rates than older and safer drivers.

Also, buying a policy with low deductibles costs much more than a policy with high deductibles, which is a difference of $664 for a 40-year-old driver.

The cheapest rate shown in the chart is the discount rate, which simply means an average driver who qualifies for policy discounts like being a good driver, being claim-free, and having multiple cars on the same policy. The more discounts you can earn, the cheaper the insurance rate on your Equinox.

Some additional insights concerning Equinox insurance costs include:

• Safe drivers have cheaper Equinox insurance. Too many at-fault accidents can raise rates, potentially up to $3,016 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even as much as $522 per year for a 60-year-old driver.
• Get cheaper rates by researching discounts. Discounts may be available if the policyholders are senior citizens, are military or federal employees, belong to certain professional organizations, are away-from-home students, are good students, or other discounts which could save the average driver as much as $364 per year.
• Raise your credit for better rates. Having an excellent credit rating above 800 could save around $339 per year over a lower credit score of 670-739. Conversely, a not-so-perfect credit rating could cost up to $393 more per year.
• The cost to insure teen drivers is expensive. Average rates for full coverage Equinox car insurance costs $7,627 per year for a 16-year-old driver, $7,356 per year for a 17-year-old driver, and $6,539 per year for an 18-year-old driver.
• Driving violations increase insurance rates. To get the cheapest rates, it just makes good sense to be a safe driver. As a matter of fact, just one or two minor moving violations can increase insurance costs by up to $564 per year. Being convicted of a serious infraction such as reckless driving could raise rates by an additional $1,966 or more.
• As you get older, car insurance rates go down. The difference in insurance rates for an Equinox between a 60-year-old driver ($1,790 per year) and a 20-year-old driver ($4,282 per year) is $2,492, or a difference of 82.1%.
• Prepare for sticker shock for high-risk insurance. For a 30-year-old driver, having a tendency to get into accidents or receive driving citations increases the cost by $2,618 or more per year.

The Chevy Equinox was originally a midsize SUV, but with the third-generation model in 2018, GM reduced it to a compact model and sales soared to over 300,000 units.

What is the cheapest Chevy Equinox to insure?

The cheapest model of Chevy Equinox to insure is the base LS model at $2,016 per year, or about $168 per month. Other trims like the LS and LT 2WD models cost a little more than the L version but are still quite affordable.

The most expensive EV 3RS trim level costs an extra $318 per year over the lowest cost LS model. In most instances, as the cost of the vehicle increases with multiple add-on feature packages, the cost of insurance always seems to increase as well.

The next table shows average yearly and 6-month Chevrolet Equinox car insurance rates, including a monthly budget amount, for each 2024 model year trim level.

As you should be able to tell by the table above, as the MSRP of an Equinox increases with higher-end trim levels and options, the cost of car insurance also increases.

Vehicles that cost more also have higher “actual cash value” or ACV, which simply means that if the vehicle is totaled in an accident or other event (fire, hail, flood, etc.), your car insurance company will have to pay more to replace it. And more money out of the car insurance company’s pocket means more money out of your pocket in the form of more expensive car insurance rates.

How to get discount Chevy Equinox insurance

Everyone wants cheaper car insurance, and one of the best (and easiest) ways to save money on insurance is to qualify for policy discounts.

If you’re a safe driver, have a clean driving record, have been continuously insured for several years, and are claim-free, you should be able to qualify for some pretty decent discounts.

Additional discounts can be earned if you own your home, if you bundle your auto and home insurance with the same company, and if you have multiple vehicles on the same car insurance policy.

We put together a list of the top ten best discounts offered by larger insurance companies, and also calculated the average savings each discount could earn you when insuring a 2024 Chevy Equinox.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of every discount offered by these companies. Rather, it just shows some of the larger discounts that can help you save the most money if you qualify for them.

There are lots of smaller discounts as well, and every company offers slightly different discount types and amounts.

If you are currently insured, it could pay dividends to check with your current company just to make sure you’re not missing any discounts you’re entitled to.

Some discounts may require verification in order to qualify (like proof of good grades for a student driver or certification from a driver training course), but the savings definitely make it worth the effort.
