Other factors that can impact cost are driver age and the deductibles you choose for comprehensive and collision coverage. The chart below demonstrates average car insurance rates for a 2024 Ioniq 5 using variations of driver age and policy deductibles.

Along with your age and driving record, policy deductibles have a pretty large influence on the cost of car insurance. The higher deductibles you choose, the more you have to pay if you have a covered claim, but the less you will pay for your policy. And the opposite also applies, so lower deductibles result in a more expensive policy, but less out of your pocket if you have a claim.

The table below breaks down average rates for each of the Ioniq 5 trim levels for the 2024 model year. As shown in the table, rates vary from $2,184 to $2,428 per year based on the trim of vehicle.

Driver age, driving record, and deductibles have been mentioned as factors that affect insurance cost, but there are so many additional factors that insurance companies use to set the price you pay.

The list below gives you some examples of other things can impact your policy cost, along with a few ways you can cut the cost of your coverage.

• As you get older, rates tend to drop. The difference in 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 insurance cost between a 60-year-old driver ($1,912 per year) and a 20-year-old driver ($4,644 per year) is $2,732, or a savings of 83.3%. However, once over about the age of 65, rates start to creep back up.
• A good credit rating can save money. Having an over-800 credit score could save up to $361 per year versus a lower credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a subpar credit rating could cost as much as $419 more per year. Not all states allow the use of credit scores in determining rates, however.
• Earn discounts to save money. Discounts may be available if the insured drivers are loyal customers, drive low annual mileage, insure their home and car with the same company, sign their policy early, are senior citizens, or many other discounts which could save the average driver as much as $392 per year on their insurance cost.
• Raising deductibles makes insurance more affordable. Increasing deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $358 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $700 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Low physical damage deductibles may be wasting money. Cutting your deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $374 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $740 per year for a 20-year-old driver. If you have few claims, a low deductible may not be in your best interest.
• Tickets and violations can cost a lot. In order to get the cheapest insurance on a Hyundai Ioniq 5, you have to drive safely! Just a couple of traffic tickets can spike insurance rates as much as $616 per year. Major violations like hit-and-run, DUI or reckless driving could raise rates by an additional $2,152 or more.
• Save money due to your employer. Just about all car insurance companies offer discounts for being employed in occupations like doctors, emergency medical technicians, nurses, architects, firefighters, engineers, and others. Having this discount applied to your policy could save between $69 and $228 on your yearly insurance cost, depending on the coverage levels.
