Insuring a van is relatively inexpensive compared to other vehicles.

The average cost to insure a van is $132 per month, which is about 10% less than the average cost for all vehicles, based on Compare.com data.

But van insurance rates depend on several factors, including which insurance company you choose and your coverage options. So it’s a good idea to shop around and compare quotes from several companies to find the cheapest insurance for your van.

Key Takeaways
  • Van drivers pay an annual average of $1,584 for car insurance.

  • GEICO, State Farm, and Allstate are three of the cheapest insurers for vans, on average.

  • The Honda Odyssey is the cheapest minivan to insure, with average monthly premiums of $117.

Cheapest Van Insurance Companies

Each insurance company has its own formula to calculate risk levels when setting rates, so premiums vary by company. You could save hundreds on your policy by switching insurers for your van.

The table below shows the average monthly premiums from several of the cheapest van insurance companies.

Company
Average Monthly Premium
GEICO$73
State Farm$74
Allstate$82
American Family$96
Progressive$107
Nationwide$115
Travelers$121
Farmers$147
Liberty Mutual$181

How Much Does Van Insurance Cost?

A van with open rear doors loaded with boxes is parked outside a warehouse, where two workers are stacking boxes on shelves.

Van insurance costs $91 per month for a liability-only policy and $172 per month for full coverage on average, according to Compare.com data.

But how much you pay to insure your van depends on several factors, including your age, location, gender, mileage, and driving history. Younger drivers tend to pay the highest rates because they have less driving experience. A history of accidents or speeding tickets will also typically lead to higher rates.

In some states, insurers can also consider your credit history. Drivers with good credit tend to pay less for coverage.

Insurance companies will also consider your van’s make, model, age, and value. More expensive vehicles are costlier to insure. Your coverage limits, selected coverages, and chosen deductible also affect your premium.[1]

Average Costs to Insure Popular Vans

Newer vans with higher values and updated features and technology tend to be more expensive to insure due to their higher repair and replacement costs.

The table below shows the average and cheapest monthly premiums for some of the most popular vans in the U.S., based on Compare.com data.

Van Model
Average Monthly Premium

Toyota Sienna$131State Farm$46
We sourced this data by analyzing real quotes from Compare.com's 100-plus partner insurance companies alongside rate filings collected and distributed by Quadrant Information Services. Actual quotes may vary. Data updated on .

The Honda Odyssey is the least expensive van to insure, at an average of $117 per month, likely due to its strong safety record. The 2025 Honda Odyssey was an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) top safety pick.[2]

The Kia Carnival is the most expensive van to insure, with an average monthly premium of $152, likely due to high theft rates and costly trim packages. In the past, Kia has been a frequent target for vehicle theft, and some new Kia Carnival trims can be well over $50,000. But you can still likely find affordable coverage by shopping around and comparing rates.

Very Disappointed with Geico
Very poor. I called to get a quote for a potential vehicle upgrade to a Tesla. The cost was acceptable. Based on the quote, I purchased the Tesla. The day I picked up the Tesla, I called to add the vehicle to my policy and was informed that the quote I just got had increased by another $500. That was a shock, and I immediately canceled my policy and went to Progressive.

State Farm may be a good fit if you plan to use your van for rideshare services. While some rideshare companies require you to buy a stand-alone commercial vehicle policy, State Farm has a rideshare endorsement you can add to your existing personal policy. And this could save you money, compared to buying separate commercial van insurance.

State Farm also has lower-than-average rates for vans and a large network of agents offering personalized assistance.

Pros
  • Rideshare coverage available as an endorsement

  • Lower-than-average rates

  • Large agent network

Cons
  • Not available in Rhode Island or Massachusetts

  • Higher rates for drivers with past infractions

  • Doesn’t sell gap coverage

Why we picked this company

Allstate offers gap insurance, which can provide additional financial protection after an accident if you finance your van with a loan or lease. Allstate also offers vehicle protection plans you can add to get coverage for repairs not related to accidents. Plus, rates are relatively cheap for Allstate’s van insurance compared to other insurers.

Pros
  • Sells gap insurance

  • Offers vehicle protection plans

  • Relatively low rates

Cons
  • Lower-than-average claims satisfaction scores

  • Poor reviews from customers on Trustpilot about claim delays

  • Fewer discount programs than some competitors

What Van Insurance Covers

Van insurance is a type of auto insurance for minivans, camper vans, or cargo vans. Depending on your vehicle type and value, you may need one or more of the following types of van insurance:[3]

  • Liability: Liability insurance helps pay for bodily injury and property damage that you cause and is required by law in most states.

  • Collision: Collision insurance is a type of optional coverage that pays for repairs to your own van if you’re in an accident, no matter who’s at fault.

  • Comprehensive: Comprehensive coverage pays for repairs to your van from damage related to weather, animals, vandalism, or theft.

  • Gap: Gap insurance pays the difference between your van’s current value and your outstanding balance on your loan or lease if it’s stolen or totaled in an accident. Lenders generally require gap coverage when you finance a vehicle.

Rental car reimbursement and roadside assistance may also be worth considering for added financial protection when shopping around for van insurance.

How to Get Cheaper Van Insurance

White delivery van driving on a rural road, surrounded by grass and trees under a clear blue sky.

To reduce insurance premiums for your van, follow these five tips:

  • Sign up for a usage-based insurance (UBI) policy. UBI policies track vehicle use and driving habits. If you drive safely and cover fewer-than-average miles, it could help you save on premiums.

  • Take a safety class. Some insurers offer discounts for van drivers who complete approved safe driving or defensive driving courses.

  • Raise your deductible. If you have collision and comprehensive insurance, consider raising your deductible to lower your monthly premium. Just be sure you can afford to pay the higher deductible if you have to file a claim.

  • Ask about discount programs. Check with your insurance agent or insurer about available car insurance discounts. Common discounts you may qualify for include savings for low-mileage, safe drivers, good students, and vehicle safety or anti-theft features.

  • Compare van insurance quotes. Because rates vary significantly between insurers, compare quotes from several companies at least once per year to find the lowest insurance prices and best coverage for your van.

Cheap Van Insurance FAQs

If you own a van or are thinking about purchasing a new one, the following information may help you find cheap van insurance.

  • Which company has the cheapest van insurance?

    In general, we found that GEICO and State Farm have the lowest average premiums for van insurance. Your exact rates depend on factors like your driving record and location, so it’s important to get quotes from several companies to find the lowest rates.

  • How much does van insurance cost per month?

    On average, van drivers pay $91 per month for liability-only van insurance policies and $172 per month for full-coverage policies, according to Compare.com data.

  • What does van insurance cover?

    A basic van insurance policy will meet state-minimum liability requirements, but liability insurance doesn’t cover your van. Full-coverage insurance includes comprehensive and collision insurance to protect your van.

  • Can you add a work van to your car insurance?

    You generally can’t add a work van to your personal car insurance policy. But if you only use the van occasionally for business purposes, such as for rideshare jobs, you may be able to add an endorsement instead of buying a separate commercial auto policy for your van.

  • What’s the best way to find cheap van insurance?

    To find cheap van insurance, request quotes from several insurance companies, including national and smaller regional companies. Also, ask insurers about potential discounts to reduce your rates.

  • Which minivan is the cheapest to insure?

    We found that the Honda Odyssey is the cheapest minivan to insure. On average, Odyssey owners pay $117 per month for vehicle insurance, according to Compare.com data.
