Pickups, Hybrids Most Expensive Vehicles to Insure

Insure.com has just released its annual listing of the most and least expensive vehicles to insure, based on the current 20 best-selling cars and small trucks in the U.S. According to the 2008 report, the Dodge Ram Pickup, Chevy Silverado C/K Pickup, and Toyota Prius topped the list of most expensive vehicles to insure.

The three least expensive autos to insure for the current model year are the Chrysler Town & Country, Ford Escape, and GMC Sierra Pickup.

Based on a list of the 20 top-selling vehicles in the nation, Insure.com calculated average car insurance premiums across three states and multiple insurers to put together the 2008 report.

Many buyers do not take into account insurance costs when purchasing a vehicle, not realizing annual premiums can vary as much as $630 depending on make and model. This can add up to thousands of dollars over the vehicle life.
