Annual Jeep car insurance premiums typically range from £600 for basic third-party policies to over £1,500 for fully comprehensive cover. Rates depend on the model, driver details and intended use.
In calculating premiums, insurers mainly examine:
Recent accidents, traffic violations and disqualifications raise rates substantially, while a clean record lowers costs.
Daily driver policies cost more than policies covering occasional recreational use. Mileage also affects premiums.
Insurers offer discounts for approved theft deterrent security devices, such as alarms and immobilisers, and secure garaging.
