Jeep car insurance coverage costs an average of $140 per month, which is lower than the national average for all vehicles. Some Jeep models, such as the Grand Cherokee, have high safety ratings, which help contribute to lower insurance rates.[1]
When you’re shopping for car insurance for your Jeep, it’s important to understand the different factors that influence your rates. Here’s what you need to know about Jeep insurance, including the cheapest insurers, states, and how to lower your rates.
Jeep owners pay an average of $140 per month for coverage, which is $10 less than the national average for all vehicles.
Travelers, Nationwide, and SafeAuto offer the cheapest rates for Jeep drivers.
Skipping unnecessary off-road coverage and minimizing modifications are just a couple of ways to keep your insurance costs down.
What You Can Expect to Pay to Insure Your Jeep
Below, we highlight the average cost to insure a Jeep for liability-only coverage and full coverage and how those rates compare to the national average for all vehicles.
Vehicle Type | Average Monthly Premium: Liability Coverage | Average Monthly Premium: Full Coverage | Overall Average for All Policies |
---|---|---|---|
Jeep | $98 | $181 | $140 |
All makes | $108 | $198 | $150 |
On average, Jeep drivers pay around $10 per month less for basic liability coverage and $17 per month less for full coverage than other makes. While these are overall averages, the model you drive can put you above or below that average.
Average Jeep Insurance Costs by Model
One factor that insurance companies consider when setting rates is your vehicle model. Different Jeep models may have different safety features, theft rates, and repair costs that may affect what you pay.[2]
Insurance costs can also vary depending on the type of policy you have. Basic liability insurance — required by most states — provides coverage for bodily injuries and property damage if you get into an accident.
Full coverage, on the other hand, includes liability insurance plus collision and comprehensive coverage, both of which protect you if an accident with another car or object damages your vehicle.
Here’s a look at the average premiums for different Jeep models, according to our research.
Model | Average Liability Premium | Average Full-Coverage Premium |
---|---|---|
Cherokee | $98 | $181 |
Compass | $112 | $207 |
Gladiator | $120 | $223 |
Grand Cherokee | $111 | $206 |
Renegade | $105 | $195 |
Wrangler | $105 | $194 |
All Jeep models | $98 | $181 |
The Jeep Cherokee is the cheapest model to insure, costing an average of $98 per month for liability-only coverage and $181 for full coverage. In contrast, the Gladiator is the most expensive, averaging $120 per month for basic liability and $223 for full coverage.
Next, we’ll look at some of the cheapest companies for Jeep drivers.

How to Choose the Right Coverage for Your Jeep
While cost may be your top priority, make sure you get the right coverage for your needs. Here’s a look at some of the types of coverage to consider for your Jeep:
Liability coverage: If you cause an accident, liability coverage pays for the other driver’s bodily injury and property damage. Experts often recommend $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident for injuries and $100,000 for property damage. Your needs may vary depending on your finances and how much risk you’re willing to take on.
Collision and comprehensive coverage: If your vehicle is damaged by something such as an accident, theft, vandalism, or weather, collision and comprehensive coverage will cover it. Lenders often require you to have both coverages when you lease or finance your car.[5] Jeep owners should also consider an insurer that offers off-road coverage.
Other required coverages: Depending on your state, you may need personal injury protection, medical payments coverage, or uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance.[6] [7] Check with your state’s insurance office or your insurer for specific requirements.
Optional coverages: Extras like rental car reimbursement and accident forgiveness may be available. Compare their cost with the value they provide. If you can afford to self-insure, it might be better to skip them.
How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance for Your Jeep
While Jeeps typically cost less to insure than most other vehicles, you can maximize your savings with a few strategies.
Skip unnecessary off-road coverage. If you don’t take your Jeep off the road, let your insurer know. Removing specialized off-road coverage could lower your rate without sacrificing essential protection.
Bundle your policies. Combining your auto policy with homeowners, renters, or even motorcycle insurance could score you a multi-policy discount. This can be particularly worthwhile if you own other outdoor or adventure vehicles.
Choose trim and modifications wisely. Higher-end trims and aftermarket modifications like lift kits or oversized tires can raise premiums. Stick with stock or low-cost modifications if affordability is your goal.
Consider usage-based insurance. If you mainly use your Jeep for weekend drives or short commutes, a usage-based insurance program could reward your low mileage and safe habits with lower premiums.
Shop regularly, and compare quotes. Insurers price risk differently, and Jeep owners may see big price swings between companies. Compare quotes at least once a year to make sure you’re not overpaying.
