How much does Jeep Wrangler insurance cost?

2023 Jeep Wrangler insurance costs an average of $1,952 a year, or $163 each month. When compared to other 2023 model-year midsize SUVs, expect to pay around $228 more each year to insure a Jeep Wrangler over the segment average rate.

When compared to all 2023 vehicles, not just midsize sport utility vehicles, insurance for a Jeep Wrangler averages $52 more than the average rate of $1,900 per year.

Two factors that really impact the cost of Wrangler insurance are the age of the driver and the policy deductibles for physical damage coverage (comprehensive and collision).

The following chart illustrates how these two factors affect 2023 Jeep Wrangler insurance rates.

As shown in the chart, rates for a 20-year-old driver are much higher than other age groups. Younger drivers pay higher car insurance rates on any vehicle, not just the Jeep Wrangler.

Insurance rates for teen drivers on a Jeep Wrangler are even higher. An 18-year-old male driver rated on a 2023 Wrangler average $6,402 per year, and rates for a 16-year-old driver average an astonishing $7,466 per year.

There are ways to save money when insuring younger drivers on a Wrangler, however. Older models cost less to insure, and raising deductibles is another way to save. As a last resort, you can consider dropping full coverage altogether and insuring with just liability insurance.

The following table shows the average insurance rates for a Jeep Wrangler from the 2013 model year up to the 2023 model year.

The rates in the table make a couple of assumptions. First, average rates are determined by using a 40-year-old male driver with a good driving record. Second, physical damage deductibles are $500. Different driver ages will change rates, as will lower or higher deductibles. We touched on that in the first chart.

Other factors that will influence car insurance rates include having a speeding ticket or two, any prior at-fault accidents, the exact model of Wrangler you’re insuring, where you live, the company you use, and even your credit level in some states.

The list below details some of the factors and situations that can impact the rate you pay for Wrangler insurance.

• The older you are, the lower your insurance rates are. The difference in insurance rates for a Jeep Wrangler between a 60-year-old driver ($1,758 per year) and a 30-year-old driver ($2,032 per year) is $274, or a savings of 14.5%.
• Be a safe driver and save on insurance. Too frequent at-fault accidents can raise rates, possibly by an additional $936 per year for a 30-year-old driver and even as much as $662 per year for a 60-year-old driver.
• Improve your credit to save money. In states that have insurance regulations that allow a driver’s credit information to be used as a rating factor, insureds with excellent credit scores of 800+ could save as much as $306 per year when compared to a lower credit score of 670-739. Conversely, a poor credit score could cost up to $355 more per year.
• Get a discount from your employer. Just about all auto insurance companies offer policy discounts for being employed in professions like doctors, scientists, law enforcement, members of the military, nurses, and other occupations. If you qualify for this occupational discount, you may save between $59 and $178 on your annual insurance cost, depending on the age of the driver.
• Obey the law to get lower insurance rates. If you want the most economical Wrangler insurance rates, it pays off to be a safe driver. A few minor traffic violations have the consequence of raising insurance costs by at least $540 per year. Serious infractions such as DWI and driving without insurance could raise rates by an additional $1,870 or more.
• Higher deductibles lower insurance costs. Raising your physical damage coverage deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $254 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $506 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Decreasing deductibles cost more money. Cutting your deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $268 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $540 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Qualify for policy discounts to lower auto insurance costs. Discounts may be available if the policyholder drives a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, is a senior citizen, is a good student, is a member of the military or a federal employee, or other policy discounts which could save the average driver as much as $334 per year on their insurance cost.

Best insurance for a Jeep Wrangler

In a comparison of some of the larger insurance companies, we found that USAA had the cheapest overall insurance rates on a 2023 Jeep Wrangler at $1,618 per year. GEICO and Progressive came in second and third at $1,665 and $1,737, respectively.

Travelers, State Farm, and Safeco were slightly more expensive than the top three companies in the comparison.

USAA is well-known for having very good car insurance rates. However, if you’re not a veteran or active military, you’re out of luck, as they don’t sell to just anyone.

This is obviously a very small comparison, and there are many other companies to choose from. We focused on companies that offer coverage nationwide for this comparison.

Other companies that offer coverage in most states include Allstate, Farmers, Nationwide, and Liberty Mutual. Companies that offer coverage in some states but not all include Erie Insurance, Auto-Owners, Westfield, and American Family.

We recommend comparing rates between at least five different car insurance companies in order to find the best rates. Include several major companies (Progressive, State Farm, GEICO, etc.) as well as smaller companies in your area.

If discount Jeep Wrangler insurance is your top priority, you’ll want to compare rates with not only the larger carriers but some of the smaller companies as well. The more apples-to-apples price quotes you get, the better chance you’ll have of finding cheap insurance on your Wrangler.

If the cheapest price isn’t your top priority, but rather customer service or claims handling, you’ll want to do a little research into customer satisfaction ratings like those performed annually by J.D. Power. They rate companies by region and state so users can see how companies rate. This is a great way to find some of the smaller, lesser-known companies in your area.

How to get discount Jeep Wrangler insurance

Discounts are a great way to reduce the cost of car insurance. Chances are you won’t qualify for every discount offered by most companies, but even if you can earn one or two of the larger discounts, it can save a lot on your premiums.

The table below shows ten of the top discounts to look for when insuring a 2023 Jeep Wrangler and the average savings offered by each discount.

Other discounts like driver’s education, early signing, homeowner, customer loyalty, and paperless billing may be offered as well. Those are generally smaller discounts but every little bit can help you get cheaper Wrangler insurance.

Many discounts will be applied automatically. For example, if you have a clean driving record and are claim-free, you’ll already qualify for a good driver discount with most companies. They pull your MVR report and claim reports upon application, so they know if you have any prior violations or claims (so be honest about these on your application).

However, some discounts may require you to follow up with some paperwork proving your eligibility. Examples of these discounts include driver’s education, having a student with good grades, or being a member of a professional organization (that’s another discount to check for).

Many occupations like medical professionals, first responders, teachers, and pilots can earn discounts on car insurance. If you qualify, you could save anywhere from $59 to $234 per year when insuring your 2023 Jeep Wrangler.

Another thing to mention is that you can’t necessarily stack all the discounts and receive what amounts to free car insurance. It doesn’t quite work that way as companies place a limit on the number of discounts that will apply. But if you do qualify for multiple discounts, that will go a long way to cutting the cost of insurance on your Jeep Wrangler.
