The chart below displays average car insurance rates for a 2022 Chevy Traverse using different driver ages and risk profiles.

The previous insurance cost chart plots just a handful of insurance cost data points from an extremely large data set. If the data included all rates for every combination of risk factors, including all 12 Traverse models and all 41,692 zip codes in the U.S., the chart would show about 1,161,216,000,000 different possible insurance rates for a Chevrolet Traverse.

To better illustrate the range of Chevrolet Traverse car insurance rates, consider that a liability-only insurance policy in the cheaper areas of Virginia or Wisconsin can be as low as $225 a year. A teen driver with a few tickets and at-fault accidents in some zip codes in New York City, could cost as much as $14,396 a year for full coverage.

That’s a ton of rates and a heap of variability. If you’re comparing rates to see if you can save money, or just shopping for a new policy, we really just recommend you get a quote. It will nail down your rate and eliminate a lot of the variables inherent in car insurance.

Will an older Traverse cost less to insure?

Bypassing the 2022 model and instead driving a 2013 Chevrolet Traverse could cut your insurance cost by $508 per year at a minimum, depending on your coverage levels.

The next table shows average car insurance rates for the Traverse for the 2009 to the 2022 model years. Rates range from about $80 a month for a 2009 Chevrolet Traverse to the most expensive rate of nearly $130 a month for a 2022 model year.

Ultimately, as the mileage creeps up, it will probably be a good idea to eliminate physical damage coverage (comprehensive and collision) from a policy. As a vehicle depreciates, the cost of maintaining physical damage coverage begins to exceed any benefits of having full coverage.

Removing comprehensive and collision coverage on an older Traverse could save around $606 annually, depending on the level of physical damage deductibles and the driver age.

The best time to drop full coverage is completely different for everyone. Eliminating the coverage means you have no recourse if your Traverse is totaled. So it’s a good idea to have some savings set aside to be able to afford a different vehicle just in case.
