SUVs are the most popular vehicle type in the country, likely thanks to their functionality and style. In fact, SUVs accounted for nearly 64% of all new cars financed during Q3 of 2025, according to Experian data.[1]

SUV drivers pay $160 per month for coverage, which is slightly less than the industry average of $166 per month for all vehicles. How much you pay to insure an SUV depends on several factors, including the make and model of the vehicle, your driving record, your location, and your insurer.

In this article, we’ll cover what you need to know about finding cheap car insurance for your SUV.

Key Takeaways
  • USAA, State Farm, and Erie Insurance are among the cheapest insurers for SUVs.

  • SUV drivers pay an average of $112 per month for liability-only coverage and $208 per month for full coverage, according to Compare.com data.

The cost of insuring your SUV depends on several factors, including its make, model, year, and trim level. Your insurer will consider the type of vehicle you drive when determining your insurance rate.

The Honda CR-V is typically the cheapest SUV to insure. On average, CR-V drivers pay $122 per month, which is about 24% less than the average for all SUVs. Insuring this vehicle tends to be relatively inexpensive due to its low manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) and excellent safety ratings.[3]

By contrast, the Nissan Rogue is one of the most expensive SUVs to insure, with an average monthly premium of $151. That may be surprising, considering that the Nissan Rogue is a relatively affordable vehicle with a starting MSRP of just $29,090.[4]

That said, the Nissan Rogue has become a common target for thieves due to key-fob issues in recent years, which increases the risk of costly insurance claims.[5]

Rates and coverage choices can vary by insurer, so shopping around and comparing quotes from leading insurers is key.

Why we picked this company

Auto owners purchase the majority of new cars with financing, such as auto loans, according to Experian data.[1] If you have a new SUV, Allstate can help you protect your vehicle. Allstate sells gap insurance, which pays the difference between the vehicle’s value and your outstanding loan or lease balance if you total your vehicle or if it’s stolen.

Allstate also offers both pay-per-mile and telematics insurance programs, so drivers who practice safe driving habits or drive fewer-than-average miles can potentially save money.

Pros
  • Sells gap insurance

  • Vehicle protection plans are available for newer SUVs

  • Pay-per-mile and usage-based coverage available

Cons
  • Poor reviews on Trustpilot

  • Below-average rating in the J.D. Power Auto Claims Satisfaction Study[6]

  • Fewer discounts available than some competitors

Why we picked this company

If you always obey speed limits and avoid driving late at night, you may benefit from signing up for car insurance through Root. A usage-based insurance (UBI) company, Root bases your auto insurance premiums on your vehicle use and driving habits.

You can qualify for substantially lower-than-average rates by driving safely, obeying speed limits, avoiding phone use while driving, and braking smoothly. Plus, Root doesn’t consider your credit when setting rates, so it may be a good option for those with no credit or poor credit.

Pros
  • Good drivers can qualify for lower-than-average rates

  • Doesn’t consider credit history when setting rates

  • Rental reimbursement and roadside assistance available

Cons
  • Past driving infractions may cause you to be ineligible for coverage

  • Not available in 15 states

  • Higher-than-usual number of customer complaints

What SUV Insurance Covers

An auto insurance policy for your SUV needs to at least meet your state’s insurance requirements for bodily injury and property damage protection. But depending on your financial situation and vehicle, you may need to get additional coverage and increase your liability limits.

Here are some of the most common forms of coverage for your SUV, and what coverage includes:

  • Liability coverage: Liability insurance is a necessity in nearly every state. Although your state requires a minimum amount, you should consider increasing your coverage limits. This insurance pays for injuries or damages you cause to another driver, their property, or their passengers.[7]

  • Collision insurance: Collision insurance is an optional coverage that pays for repairs to your own vehicle after an accident. If you have a newer car, collision insurance can provide added financial protection.

  • Comprehensive insurance: Comprehensive coverage can help pay for repairs following non-collision events, such as hail or another object damaging your SUV.

  • Gap insurance: With new vehicle prices averaging more than $50,000, many drivers opt to finance or lease an SUV.[8] If that’s the case for you, gap insurance can come in handy. If you total your SUV in an accident, or if someone steals it, gap insurance helps cover the difference between your loan balance and the vehicle’s current value.

  • Other add-ons: Companies often offer more optional add-ons, such as rental car reimbursement or roadside assistance, that you can use to enhance your coverage or get added protection.

SUV Insurance Costs by Vehicle Category

Your SUV’s category and size can influence its insurance cost. Compact SUVs, such as the Honda CR-V, the Mazda CX-50, and the Toyota RAV4, are smaller vehicles with lower-than-average starting prices. Unsurprisingly, these vehicles are cheaper to insure than other SUVs. On average, compact SUV drivers pay $146 per month for insurance.

Full-size SUVs, such as the Toyota Sequoia or the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, are much larger and more expensive. As a result, they’re more expensive to replace if you have a claim, so you’ll have a higher insurance premium.

Luxury SUVs, like the BMW iX or the Audi Q7, have significantly higher-than-average starting prices and high-tech features. Due to their higher repair and replacement costs, these vehicles usually have higher insurance premiums.

The table below shows average insurance premiums by SUV category, according to Compare.com data.

How to Get Cheaper SUV Insurance

You can typically find ways to save money on car insurance. Here are several tips you can try out to lower your car insurance premiums.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/295508/150x150/e367035779/compare-icons-green-96x96008-car.svg

    Sign up for a telematics policy

    If you tend to drive infrequently, follow speed limits, and drive safely, you could save money by enrolling in a telematics or UBI program. These policies use apps or plug-in devices to track your vehicle use and driving behaviors. The collected data is then used to set your premiums.[9]

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/295508/150x150/b5fc839b0f/compare-icons-96x96045-discount.svg

    Take advantage of discounts

    You may be eligible for discounts you’re not aware of, such as good student discounts for young drivers, paid-in-full discounts, or loyalty discounts. Contact your agent or insurance company to find out what car insurance discounts are available.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/295508/150x150/649599b066/compare-icons-96x96031-core-value.svg

    Adjust your coverage deductible

    Your deductible is the amount you pay to repair or replace your vehicle after an accident or claim before your insurer covers the cost. Increasing your deductible from, for example, $500 to $1,000, will reduce your monthly insurance premiums.[10]

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/295508/150x150/b7d203862b/compare-icons-96x96024-budget.svg

    Review your policy

    If you have an older or high-mileage SUV, you may not need a full-coverage policy. Dropping collision and comprehensive insurance or adjusting your coverage limits can lower your insurance costs.
