Top 10 Most Expensive Cars to Insure in 2012

Which Car is Most Expensive to Insure?

Driving like a douchebag isn’t the only thing that makes you pay high insurance premiums. The type of car you drive is also a big factor. Not because it’s expensive to replace, but because of how much it costs to repair, the cost to the insurance company when it’s a write off, and the frequency of accidents for that type of vehicle.

With all the data insurance companies collect to do risk assessments, they can determine which cars are most expensive to insure. Given that the frequency of accidents for each model and cost to repair changes every year, this list is not permanent. You’ll also note that a driver’s own risk profile can greatly influence their premiums.

Insure.com, a US insurance quote aggregator, came up with this year’s most expensive cars to insure across multiple insurance companies. The quotes were established for a 40-year-old man driving a 2012 model vehicle, who drives 19 km to work each day. Each quote included personal injury cover for up to $100,000 and third party liability for up to $350,000 with an excess of $500. This driver, further, had a clean driving record.

For this profile, the top ten most expensive cars to insure in 2012 are:
