White care with a big red bow on the hood in a parking lot

There are a lot of things to consider when you are thinking of buying a new car. What model do you want to get, what monthly payments can you afford, what features are the most important to you, etc. But one thing most people don’t think of is to check the new car’s insurance rates. Or if you are deciding between several different makes and models, to compare insurance rates for each. Be aware, most dealerships need proof of insurance on the car before they let you drive it off the lot.

Insurance rates differ greatly between cars. If the car is safe and performs well in crash tests, is not frequently stolen, and/or has certain safety or anti-theft features, it will generally cost less to insure. If the car is flashier, has a history of being frequently stolen, or is more expensive to repair, you can bet your insurance rates will be higher. Here is the low down on cars that are the most expensive to insure for theft claims, injury claims and collision claims.
