The previous chart illustrates a limited number of insurance cost values. If the chart included every rate for every driver profile and risk factor, including all 13 Dodge Challenger trim levels and every zip code in the U.S., the result would yield 1,257,984,000,000 different insurance rates.

To further help you understand how variable insurance rates are for a Challenger, consider that a Challenger insurance policy with only liability coverage in the cheapest areas of Illinois or Vermont may be as low as $241 a year.

Additional rates and possible policy discounts to look out for include:

• Driver gender influences rates. For a 2022 Dodge Challenger, a 20-year-old male driver pays an estimated $4,286 per year, while a 20-year-old female will pay an average of $3,180, a difference of $1,106 per year in favor of the women by a long shot. But by age 50, male rates are $1,962 and the rate for women is $1,922, a difference of only $40.
• Raising deductibles results in a cheaper policy. Bumping up your deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $324 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $632 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Lowering deductibles results in a more expensive policy. Dropping your physical damage deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $338 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $668 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Obey the law to get lower insurance rates. To pay the cheapest Challenger insurance rates, it makes sense to be a safe driver. As a matter of fact, just a couple driving offenses have the consequences of raising insurance rates as much as $568 per year.
• Qualify for policy discounts to lower insurance cost. Discounts may be available if the policyholders are military or federal employees, sign their policy early, take a defensive driving course, belong to certain professional organizations, are accident-free, or many other policy discounts which could save the average driver as much as $366 per year.
• Prepare for sticker shock for high risk insurance. For a 50-year-old driver, having a tendency to get into accidents or receive violations could raise rates by $2,550 or more per year.
• Don’t be a negligent driver. Having frequent at-fault accidents will raise rates, potentially up to $3,030 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even $892 per year for a 40-year-old driver.
• Earn a discount from your choice of occupation. The large majority of car insurance companies offer policy discounts for specific occupations like architects, farmers, police officers and law enforcement, lawyers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and others. If you can get this discount applied to your policy, you may save between $65 and $158 on your annual Challenger insurance cost, depending on the age of the rated driver.

Do Hellcat Challengers cost more to insure?

At the top end of insurance cost, the three most expensive Challenger trim levels to insure are the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody, the SRT Jailbreak, and the SRT Super Stock trim levels at $2,340,  $2,364, and $2,372 per year, respectively.

How much is Dodge Challenger insurance for teenagers?

Average car insurance rates for teenagers on a 2022 Dodge Challenger range from a low of $5,448 for a 19-year-old female driver to a high of $7,800 for a 16-year-old male driver. Insuring a teen driver on an older model year Challenger will be cheaper, but the cost is still high.

The chart below shows the cost of insuring male and female drivers from age 16 through 19 on a 2014 Dodge Challenger with full coverage and $500 physical damage deductibles.

Insuring a teenager with liability-only insurance is a good way to keep costs down, but even a 2008 Dodge Challenger still has a market value ranging from about $9,000 to $15,000, depending on the condition. In the case of a total loss from an accident, hail, flood, or fire, that is quite a bit of vehicle value to just write off since the loss would not be covered by a policy with only liability insurance.

Another option to reduce the cost of insurance for teens is to raise the physical damage deductibles as high as the policy will allow, or at least to a level you can financially afford to pay in case of a loss. Higher deductibles mean the policyholder is willing to shoulder more of the loss financially, so the result is a cheaper rate.
