You could buy four 2021 Chrysler Voyager minivans for the cost of one 2021 Maserati Quattroporte S GranSport. So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the Maserati also costs four times as much to insure.

Insure.com  ran the numbers to find the most and least expensive cars to insure this year. You will not find a lot of surprises on the list. But it serves as a reminder that the basic rules always apply — if you want a car that’s inexpensive to own, go with a common one.

Americans now buy more SUVs than cars and trucks combined. Apart from the Voyager, every vehicle on the list of the 10 cheapest cars to insure is an SUV.

Survey methodology

To get the numbers,  Insure.com  pulled insurance quotes from the six large insurers in all 50 states, using a theoretical average driver. Their imaginary driver was a 40-year-old man with a 12-mile daily commute, a clean record, and good credit.

They asked for quotes for nearly 3,000 models of car, seeking a policy with $100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries, and $50,000 for property damage in an accident. They used a $500 deductible and sought collision and comprehensive coverage. The rate for the male driver included uninsured motorist coverage.
