On average, we found that older Wranglers were cheaper to insure than newer models. The 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport, for example, had insurance costs 27% lower than the comparable 2021 model. This makes sense considering insurance rates are typically higher for more expensive vehicles, and the 2021 Wrangler Sport has a 26% higher price than the 2015 model.
Vehicle | Vehicle price | Average annual car insurance cost |
|---|---|---|
| Jeep 2021 Wrangler JL Sport | $28,900 | $1,916 |
| Jeep 2020 Wrangler Sport | $28,295 | $1,782 |

| Jeep 2015 Wrangler Sport | $22,995 | $1,397 |
The quotes above represent how much it costs to insure a Jeep Wrangler Sport; however, insurance costs can vary based on which trim level you have. One of the main reasons for this is that trim level has a big impact on the value of your vehicle, which affects auto insurance costs. More expensive trim levels will typically have higher insurance costs, so Wrangler Rubicon or Sahara — the more expensive trim options — owners can expect higher premiums than Wrangler Sport drivers, as the Sport is the cheapest trim version.
Insurance rates will also vary based on if you have the two-door Wrangler model or the four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. We found that — for the Sport trim level — the four-door Unlimited model had an insurance rate 3% greater than the two door Sport model's insurance cost — a $62 per year difference.
