Which Dodge Challengers are the most expensive to insure?

The most expensive Dodge Challengers to insure are the SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Redeye. It makes sense that the most powerful cars in the Mopar lineup would be the most expensive to insure. According to Insure.com, the SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Redeye cost more to insure than a Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 4 GTS.

It should be noted that insuring an SRT Jailbreak or SRT Super Stock is more expensive, but the Hellcats are far more common. It is likely even more costly to insure the exclusive Dodge SRT Demon.

How much does it cost to insure a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat?

Insuring a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat costs around $3,528 annually. According to Insure.com, that is the national average rate for full coverage. Of course, many factors impact insurance rates, like age, gender, geographic location, and driving record. However, there is no difference in coverage for the standard or widebody car.

How much does it cost to insure an SRT Hellcat Redeye?

The annual national average rate for insuring a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is $3,533. That’s just five dollars difference between the Hellcat and the Hellcat Redeye. Impressive, considering the difference between the cars is 80 horsepower. Still, the monster muscle car costs more to insure than the Porsche 911.

How much does it cost to insure a Porsche 911 Carerra Targa 4 GTS?

Insuring a Porsche 911 Carerra Targa 4 GTS will cost an annual average of $3,527, a mere one dollar less than the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. However, that is a testament to insurance providers’ posture toward these seismically powerful Dodge muscle cars. According to TrueCar, the Porsche costs more than twice as much as the Challenger SRT Hellcat.

Why is insuring a Dodge Challenger so expensive?

Dodge Challengers are expensive to insure because they are fast, powerful, and priced at a point where younger, less affluent consumers can afford them. As a result, they carry inherent riskiness. The Hellcat Redeye produces 797 horsepower, one of the highest power figures of any gas-powered vehicle currently on the market. It makes sense that providers would be concerned about covering the muscle cars.
