Question:

How is insurance cost different for used vs new cars?

Answer

Due to depreciation and lower replacement costs, used cars are generally cheaper to insure than brand-new cars. The final price is also influenced by the make and model of the vehicle, as well as the driver's profile.

Main differences in insurance cost :

  • New cars have higher premiums because they're worth more.
  • Used cars cost less to repair or replace, lowering insurer risk.
  • Older models often qualify for third-party coverage, which is more affordable.
  • Newer cars may require comprehensive policies, especially if under finance.
  • The insurance savings can add up significantly with pre-owned vehicles.
