Let’s see,\u00a0you searched for the car with the best\u00a0mileage. You made sure it uses regular gas because it’s a lot cheaper than premium. You bought a car with a long warranty to avoid expensive repairs. You even made sure that you skipped the premium tires because they’re costly to replace. Finally, you haggled long and hard to get the price of that new car down really low.<\/p>\n

But did you ever think about what it would cost to insure your new vehicle?<\/p>\n

Few people do. But the reality is that there is a huge range in the average cost to insure. In some cases it could save thousands of dollars every year.\u00a0Insure.com puts out a list<\/a> annually detailing the average price to insure certain models. Two key factors keep the price down on these cars: fewer crashes and low repair costs. While the model doesn’t determine whether it’s prone to crash, the kind of people who buy them do.<\/p>\n
