About $2,211 a year for full coverage on a national average — 54% more than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Hyundai Accent at an index of 154 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2020-2022).
The premium isn't spread evenly. Bodily injury — injuries you cause to other people — carries this car's highest loss index at 215, while Comprehensive sits at 81. 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 2022 Accent sells for a median $12,900, so a year of cover costs 17.1% of the car's value. Over 17 generations of data the index has climbed from 81 (2004-2006) to 154 (2020-2022). Calculated from 17 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a Accent 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 $2,211: Liability (BI + PD) $1,061 · Collision $619 · Comprehensive $265 · Other (UM / PIP) $265.
How it changed by generation
Insurance-loss index of the Accent 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 Accent has become more expensive to insure over time (+73 points).
What a Accent costs by state
Where you park matters as much as what you drive. The Accent's index applied to each state's average premium — the same car, the same cover, different postcode:
| State | Accent 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 |

More on the Hyundai Accent
Hyundai Accent insurance — frequently asked
How much is insurance for a Hyundai Accent?
About $2,211 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 154 applied to the US average premium.
Why is the Accent expensive or cheap to insure?
Its costliest area is Bodily injury (index 215), 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 17.1% of what a 2022 Accent sells for (a median $12,900). Cheap cars often show a higher percentage even when the dollar premium is lower.
Does its safety rating lower the premium?
Not directly. The Accent holds 4 stars from NHTSA, but crash-test performance and repair cost are priced separately — a car can protect occupants well and still be costly to fix.
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 Accent can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
