Top 20 Cheapest Cars to Insure

Introduction

In the U.S., the car we drive is an extension of who we are—it expresses our values, sense of style and, to some extent, eccentricities. But the car we drive also plays a major role in determining how much we pay for car insurance, and many drivers fail to factor in this reality. That’s why it pays to know which vehicles get rock-bottom car insurance rates, and with this in mind, we've turned to our friends at insurance marketplace InsWeb.com for a list of the 20 cheapest vehicles to insure.

Analyzing every 2009 model vehicle insurance quote request generated by InsWeb.com since January 1, 2009, InsWeb determined a median auto insurance rate for each request by using a proprietary system that tracks the rating algorithms of multiple insurance carriers in each state, and then combined the results for like vehicles. After sorting through almost 400 makes and models, the vehicles with the lowest median rates were chosen, and a top 20 list was produced.
