About $1,683 a year for full coverage on a national average — 17% more than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Chrysler Sebring at an index of 117 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2008-2010).
The premium isn't spread evenly. Bodily injury — injuries you cause to other people — carries this car's highest loss index at 151, while Comprehensive sits at 84. That gap is the real reason behind the price, and it's the part a quote form never shows you. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2010 Sebring sells for a median $7,900, so a year of cover costs 21.3% of the car's value. Over 9 generations of data the index has climbed from 92 (2004-2006) to 117 (2008-2010). Calculated from 9 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a Sebring 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 $1,683: Liability (BI + PD) $808 · Collision $471 · Comprehensive $202 · Other (UM / PIP) $202.
How it changed by generation
Insurance-loss index of the Sebring 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 Sebring has become more expensive to insure over time (+25 points).
What a Sebring costs by state
Where you park matters as much as what you drive. The Sebring's index applied to each state's average premium — the same car, the same cover, different postcode:
| State | Sebring 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 |
Six priciest and six cheapest states shown. Figures are the state's average premium scaled by this model's loss index — your own quote also depends on age, record, deductible and ZIP.
More on the Chrysler Sebring
Chrysler Sebring insurance — frequently asked
How much is insurance for a Chrysler Sebring?
About $1,683 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 117 applied to the US average premium.
Why is the Sebring expensive or cheap to insure?
Its costliest area is Bodily injury (index 151), which covers injuries you cause to other people. Insurers set premiums from claim history like this, not from the sticker price.
Is that a lot relative to the car's value?
A year of cover is 21.3% of what a 2010 Sebring sells for (a median $7,900). Cheap cars often show a higher percentage even when the dollar premium is lower.
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 Sebring can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
