Other important data observations concerning Sonata insurance costs include:

  • As you age, insurance rates get cheaper. The difference in Sonata insurance cost between a 50-year-old driver ($1,396 per year) and a 30-year-old driver ($1,632 per year) is $236, or a savings of 15.6%.
  • Your profession could save you a few bucks. The large majority of auto insurance companies offer policy discounts for earning a living in occupations like the military, emergency medical technicians, scientists, farmers, accountants, engineers, and others. By earning this discount on your policy you could save between $46 and $147 on your annual insurance bill, depending on your policy.
  • Good credit can save money. In states that do not prevent an insured’s credit rating to be used for policy pricing purposes, having excellent credit of 800+ could save $243 per year when compared to a credit score ranging from 670-739. Conversely, a weak credit score could cost as much as $281 more per year.
  • Driver gender influences rates. For a 2013 Hyundai Sonata, a 20-year-old man will pay an estimated rate of $3,096 per year, while a 20-year-old woman will pay $2,246, a difference of $850 per year. Women get significantly cheaper rates. But by age 50, the rate for men is $1,396 and the rate for women is $1,348, a difference of only $48.
  • A good driving record means cheaper insurance costs. To get the cheapest Sonata insurance rates, it pays to be a conservative driver. Just one or two minor lapses of judgment on your driving record could result in increasing policy rates by as much as $418 per year. Major infractions such as a DUI could raise rates by an additional $1,434 or more.
