When buying a policy, you have a choice of how much you want to pay out-of-pocket if you file a claim which is called a deductible. A policy with high deductibles will cost less than a comparable policy with a lower deductible option.

For the 40-year-old driver in the example above, insuring a 2023 RAV4 with $1,000 deductibles costs $1,372 per year on average, while a low $250 deductible policy runs $1,906. That’s a difference of $534 per year based solely on different deductible amounts.

2023 Toyota RAV4 vs. Average Vehicle by Insurance Coverage

As shown in the table, the 2023 RAV4 insurance rates fare very well when compared to the average for all other vehicles.

Compact sport utility vehicles tend to have good overall car insurance rates, and the RAV4 is no exception. But the RAV4 is actually not even close to being the cheapest to insure in its class. We will cover that in much more detail later in the article.

One of the best ways to make car insurance less expensive is to bundle it with your home insurance, if possible. Doing this can save an average of $180 per year when insuring a 2023 Toyota RAV4.

What is the cheapest Toyota RAV4 insurance?

The cheapest 2023 Toyota RAV4 to insure is the $27,575 LE 2WD trim level costing an average of $1,468 per year. The next cheapest RAV4 models to insure are the LE AWD and the XLE 2WD models.

As a general rule, the more a vehicle costs, the more it will cost to insure. The RAV4 is no exception, as the cheapest RAV4 car insurance is on the lower-end LE trims. Conversely, you’ll pay quite a bit more each month for insurance if you opt for the higher-end Limited or Hybrid models.

Toyota RAV4 Insurance Cost by Trim Level

Will an older RAV4 cost less to insure?

Buying an older RAV4 will definitely save some money on car insurance. With lower Actual Cash Values (essentially what the vehicle is worth), there would be a smaller claim value paid in the event of a total loss. This results in a lower physical damage coverage rate (comprehensive and collision).

Vehicle safety features also factor into the cost of car insurance, so if an older model is lacking some of the safety features available on newer models, then that can increase the cost of insurance.

This can actually cause some older models to cost more to insure than newer models, even though the newer models may have a higher replacement cost or actual cash value.

The table below shows average Toyota RAV4 car insurance rates for different driver ages for the 2013 to 2023 model years. Notice the downward cost trends as both the driver’s age increases and the age of the vehicle increases.
