About $1,625 a year for full coverage on a national average — 13% more than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Chevrolet Aveo at an index of 113 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2009-2011).
The premium isn't spread evenly across the Chevrolet Aveo: Personal injury (PIP) — no-fault injury cover in some states — carries its highest loss index at 157, while Comprehensive sits at 90. Those 67 points are the real reason behind the price, and they are the part a quote form never shows you. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2011 Aveo sells for a median $2,995, so a year of cover costs 54.3% of the car's value. Over 6 generations of data the index has climbed from 101 (2004-2006) to 113 (2009-2011). Calculated from 6 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a Aveo costs what it does
Insurers don't price a car with one number — they track losses separately for each kind of cover. An index of 100 is the average vehicle, so anything above means this model generates costlier claims of that type:
Read it as «where the money goes». A high Collision figure means these cars are expensive to repair after a crash; a high Comprehensive figure points at theft, weather and vandalism instead. Estimated annual split at $1,625: Liability (BI + PD) $780 · Collision $455 · Comprehensive $195 · Other (UM / PIP) $195.
How it changed by generation
Insurance-loss index of the Aveo across every generation in the data. Newer isn't automatically cheaper — driver-assist systems cut crash frequency, while sensors and aluminium panels push repair bills up:
Each point averages every recorded variant of that generation. The Aveo has become more expensive to insure over time (+12 points).
What a Aveo costs by state
Where you park matters as much as what you drive. The Aveo's index applied to each state's average premium — the same car, the same cover, different postcode:
| State | Aveo est. / yr | vs national |
|---|---|---|
| Florida | +39% vs US | |
| Louisiana | +38% vs US | |
| New York | +32% vs US | |
| District of Columbia | +26% vs US | |
| Georgia | +21% vs US | |
| Texas | +20% vs US | |
| Wisconsin | -30% vs US | |
| Hawaii | -31% vs US | |
| Idaho | -32% vs US | |
| North Dakota | -33% vs US | |
| Vermont | -33% vs US | |
| Maine | -36% vs US |

Chevrolet Aveo insurance — frequently asked
How much is insurance for a Chevrolet Aveo?
About $1,625 a year for full coverage at the national average, versus $1,438 for a typical car. That's the model's insurance-loss index of 113 applied to the US average premium.
Why is the Aveo expensive or cheap to insure?
For the Chevrolet Aveo the costliest area is Personal injury (PIP) at an index of 157, covering no-fault injury cover in some states — against 90 for its cheapest. Insurers set premiums from claim history like that, not from the sticker price — which is why the Chevrolet Aveo lands at 113, not at what it costs new.
Is that a lot relative to the car's value?
A year of cover is 54.3% of what a 2011 Aveo sells for — $1,625 against a median price of $2,995. Cheap cars often show a higher percentage even when the dollar premium is lower, and at 54.3% the Aveo sits on the expensive side of that trade.
Where does this data come from?
Insurance-loss indices published for real vehicles, combined with NAIC state average premiums. It's claim history, not a quote engine — so it shows what these cars actually cost insurers rather than what one company would offer you.
Will my own quote match this?
Treat it as a baseline for the car itself. Your figure also moves with age, driving record, deductible, mileage and ZIP code — the same Aveo can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
