If you're shopping on a budget, then you're not only looking at the face-value price of a car; you're looking at related expenses like fuel economy, resale, and of course, the price of insurance premiums. Muncie drivers will be happy to know that not only are new Jeep SUVs rugged enough for muddy backroad commutes, they are also some of the most affordable to insure.
Insure.com ranks new vehicle models every year from least expensive to most expensive to insure by comparing rates from 6 companies in all 50 states. In 2017, the Jeep Renegade Sport came in second place, right behind a minivan—the segment more traditionally known for low insurance rates. Following the Renegade is the Jeep Wrangler Black Bear. The Jeep Compass, Jeep Cherokee Sport, and Jeep Patriot Sport all made it into the Top 10 least expensive list.
Why Jeep brand vehicles? They're safe, the entry-level models don't have many luxury features that are expensive to repair, and owners expect to put a few dings on them while taking advantage of their off-road capability, making them less likely to file a claim over small stuff.
