What makes a car expensive to insure

Insurers price a car on how much it costs them — exactly what the HLDI loss index measures. The big factors:

Repair costExpensive parts, aluminium bodies and complex tech make repairs costly.
Theft rateFrequently-stolen models drive comprehensive claims up.
Power & speedHigh horsepower means more, and more severe, crashes.
SafetyCars driven fast or with weak occupant protection cost more.
Who drives itFamily-oriented cars are driven more carefully; sporty ones aren't.
ValueA pricier car costs more to replace, raising collision and comprehensive.

Safety is one of the biggest levers — cars with top crash-test scores file fewer injury claims. See the safest cars by crash-test score.

Most Expensive Cars to Insure — frequently asked

What is the most expensive car to insure?

The McLaren 720S is the most expensive car to insure in our data — about $10,589/yr at the US average, roughly 636% above a typical car.

How is this ranking calculated?

We rank cars by their real HLDI insurance-loss index (how much each costs insurers versus an average car, 100 = average) and estimate the premium as the US-average premium × that index. It's an estimate for a typical driver, full coverage — not a quote.

Are cars cheaper to insure than other cars?

The cars here run above the average car — high power, repair cost and theft push their premiums up.

Does the state I live in change this?

Yes — these figures use the US average. Your state can move the premium up or down by 30%+ . Use the calculator or see cost by state.

Ranking computed by ForCar from HLDI/IIHS insurance-loss indices (relative losses versus an average car, 100 = average) combined with NAIC US average premium (2023). Estimates assume a typical driver, full coverage; your quote varies with state, age, record and coverage. For research and comparison, not a quote. Reviewed by , founder of ForCar.
