Least Expensive Cars to Insure

When you go to look for a new vehicle, there are plenty of questions that you ask yourself prior to purchasing it. Does it get good gas mileage? Is the price affordable? Is it safe and reliable? This is usually where people stop asking the questions. If the answers have all been yes, then it is their brand new vehicle. However, it is important to ask one more question…How much is my auto insurance premium going to be?

Auto insurance is a necessity and is something that should always be considered when purchasing a new vehicle. Most people don’t want to pay an arm and leg for insurance, so here are a few of the least expensive cars to insure on an annual basis.

Toyota Highlander

With four cylinders, this two WD sports utility vehicle is a four-door hybrid. It’s an economical choice for a family and costs on average $1,150 per year for insurance premiums.

Ford Escape XLS

Four-door sports utility vehicle that comes in four cylinders and four-wheel drive is also an economical choice and one that you often see on the road. This SUV will cost about the same in auto insurance premiums as the Highlander annually.

Toyota Sienna

This 6-cylinder minivan is the perfect five-door vehicle for a larger family. With six cylinders, this minivan will cost on average about $1,145 to insure annually.

Honda Odyssey EX

This five-door hybrid wagon comes in two-wheel drive as most minivans as well as six cylinders. With a single overhead camshaft, the Honda Odyssey EX will cost approximately $1,140 to insure on an annually basis.

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport

While it won’t do as well off-roading, this 2 WD four door Jeep Wrangler Sport comes with a 6 cylinder engine and will only cost around $1,130 in auto insurance premiums yearly.

Nissan Murano SL

A two WD four door sports utility vehicle brings the look and feel of a modern-day minivan and SUV together to make a six cylinder exceptional vehicle. Popular among drivers, this vehicle costs approximately $1,125 to insure on an annual basis.

Chrysler Town & Country LX

Coming in as the cheapest vehicle to insure in 2011, the Chrysler Town & Country LX is a popular choice among those that have larger families and are simply looking for a good buy. The 6-cylinder minivan costs on average about $1,090 to insure annually.

As you can see, minivans and SUV’s take over the list of least expensive cars to insure. While the Chrysler Town & Country LX minivan is the cheapest out of all vehicles in 2011 to insure, it may not suit your style or preferences. If that is the case, SUV’s are still cheap to insure.
