All cars are not created equal. Aside from the showroom, no other trait is more indicative of this than a vehicle’s insurance rates. Although many factors go into your car’s insurance premiums – driving history, age, etc. – some cars are simply less expensive to insure than others. According to Forbe’s, the following vehicles are the top models that offer the least expensive insurance rates:
-
Pick a Jeep any Jeep – Grand Cherokee Laredo, Patriot Sport, Compass Sport, and the number one cheapest vehicle to insure for two years in a row, the Jeep Wrangler, all make the list. Inexpensive and easy repairs put these models above the rest.
-
Honda Odyssey – With its exceptional safety rating, these family-friendly vans offer the peace of mind to insurers that their passengers, and the surrounding vehicles, will (hopefully) have a less injuries in the event of an accident. It also helps that parents are among the nation’s safest drivers.
-
Honda CR-V – Much like it’s mini-van counterpart, the Honda CR-V offers exceptional safety as well as low repair costs.
-
Subaru Outback – Another favorite of families, the Subaru Outback is one of the few true station wagons left on the market, and the only one to make this list. Designed to take a little bit of a beating, this sportier vehicle is not only rugged, but safe.
-
Ford Escape – This smaller crossover vehicle is quickly becoming a favorite among the younger set as it provides great gas mileage, high-tech features, and is quite comfy. It’s great safety rating and inexpensive repair costs seal the deal.
