The average insurance cost of a Jeep is $190 per month. Your actual cost could be more or less depending on your driving record, the number of miles you drive in a year and other factors.]
Most newer Jeep models get an overall safety rating of 4 out of 5 stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association — a car’s safety rating is one of the factors that insurance companies consider when determining the cost of insurance. A Jeep’s good safety rating helps to lower your insurance premium.
However, some Jeeps models make it onto the top most stolen cars list, which is not something insurers like to see. This can cause an increase in the cost of insurance.
Most if not all off insurance providers will cover this all American well-loved brand.

About the Jeep brand
Jeep was launched in the ’40s as the “go anywhere, do anything” 4×4. After assisting our military in World War II, the brand went on to be a civilian favorite.
This rugged, well-loved line of cars has had many classics throughout the years, including the Wagoneer, Cherokee and Wrangler.
Jeep offers special discount programs to military servicemembers and people with permanent disabilities. Its parent company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, regularly offers cashback promotions on Jeep financing.
Are there any standout Jeep models?
The Jeep Wrangler has been a favorite 4×4 since the World War II era. In 2018, Wrangler fans have four models to choose from: the Sport, the Sport S, the Sahara and the Rubicon — all with 4×4 off-road capability. Strong axle tubes, large brakes, 33-inch tires and rugged steel skid plates allow drivers to enjoy the adventure of off-roading. While technology features like ParkSense, rear park assist, blind spot monitoring and rear cross path detection work to keep you safe while on or off the road.

Jeep ownership gives you entry into an exclusive club where members acknowledge each other with a wave. Once you get a Jeep, don’t be surprised if you see fellow Jeep drivers giving you a little hand wave. You’re also now obligated to wave to other Jeep owners you pass on the road. The Jeep Wave program is a nod to this custom.
What’s Jeep Wave?
Jeep Wave is a membership program for Jeep owners. Jeep Wave membership comes with the purchase of certain eligible Jeeps, or it can be purchased for all 2015 or newer models. Members get perks and benefits like 24/7 vehicle owner support, two tire rotations and oil changes annually, discounts on Jeep merchandise, no-charge same-day rental while your Jeep is in the shop and trip interruption coverage.
Bottom line
Jeeps are relatively affordable to insure, but be sure to shop around to find the best car insurance for you.
