Hyundai Elantra Insurance Cost Overview

In addition to the age of the driver, another thing that can really affect the cost of insurance on an Elantra is the comprehensive and collision deductibles.

Lower deductibles make an insurance policy more expensive since the insurance company will have to pay more for a covered claim. High deductibles drive the cost of car insurance downward since the policyholder is shouldering more of the expense if they have a claim.

The chart below details how average Hyundai Elantra car insurance rates vary depending on the policy deductibles. Rates are shown for drivers aged 20 to 60, along with three different deductible amounts, $250, $500, and $1,000.

To help you comprehend the full range of possible insurance rates, keep in mind that an Elantra car insurance policy with only liability coverage in the cheaper areas of Iowa or Illinois may be as cheap as $224 a year.

For an identical Elantra, a teen driver with an accident or two and a few driving infractions in some zip codes in New York City, NY, could total as much as $16,920 a year for full coverage.

More notable observations as they relate to insurance cost on a Hyundai Elantra include:

  • Careless drivers pay higher rates. Causing frequent accidents will increase insurance costs, possibly up to $2,674 per year for a 20-year-old driver and as much as $596 per year for a 60-year-old driver.
  • Earn a discount from your choice of occupation. Just about all insurance companies offer discounts for a job like emergency medical technicians, nurses, members of the military, accountants, college professors, and other occupations. Earning this discount could potentially save between $58 and $178 on your yearly auto insurance bill, depending on the policy coverages selected.
  • Gender affects car insurance rates. For a 2023 Hyundai Elantra, a 20-year-old man pays an average price of $3,800 per year, while a 20-year-old female driver will pay an average of $2,848, a difference of $952 per year. The females get the cheaper rate by far. But by age 50, the rate for men is $1,756 and rates for female drivers are $1,722, a difference of only $34.
  • Tickets and violations can cost a lot. If you want the cheapest price for Elantra insurance rates, it pays to be a safe driver. Not surprisingly, just one or two minor traffic violations could result in increasing rates by up to $506 per year. Major infractions like hit-and-run, DUI or reckless driving could raise rates by an additional $1,752 or more.
  • Hyundai Elantra insurance rates for teenagers are high. Average rates for full coverage Elantra insurance costs $7,064 per year for a 16-year-old driver, $6,532 per year for a 17-year-old driver, and $6,078 per year for an 18-year-old driver.
  • Get cheaper rates by researching discounts. Discounts may be available if the policyholders work in certain occupations, are claim-free, belong to certain professional organizations, sign their policy early, drive low annual mileage, or many other discounts which could save the average driver as much as $330 per year.
  • Older drivers tend to pay less than younger drivers. The difference in insurance rates for a 2023 Hyundai Elantra between a 60-year-old driver ($1,722 per year) and a 20-year-old driver ($3,800 per year) is $2,078, or a savings of 75.3%.

Why are Hyundai Elantras so expensive to insure?

The Hyundai Elantra has higher than average car insurance rates primarily due to substantially higher historical insurance losses for all coverages other than property damage liability and comprehensive coverage.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Highway Loss Data Institute, for the 2019 to 2021 reporting period, the Elantra has 70% higher than average collision losses, 87% higher personal injury liability losses, 80% higher medical payment losses, and 60% higher bodily injury liability losses.

For the 2016 to 2018 reporting period, the results are not quite as bad, but are still well above average. The Elantra has 29% higher than average collision losses, 59% higher personal injury liability losses, 76% higher medical payment losses, and 43% higher bodily injury liability losses.

To view these numbers yourself, and to see different reporting periods, visit the IIHS website and filter the results for small four-door cars.

Eventually, as a vehicle gets some miles on it, owners have to decide whether to eliminate one or both physical damage coverages from the insurance policy. As a vehicle loses value over time, the expense of having physical damage protection is more than the benefits provided by full coverage.

Eliminating physical damage insurance coverage on an older Hyundai Elantra may save $524 a year, depending on the level of physical damage deductibles and the age of the rated driver.
