Why SUVs cost 10% more to insure
SUVs cost ~10% more to insure than sedans nationwide. Higher curb weight = more property damage in collisions, and SUV rollover physics push collision-claim severity up. Family-policy demographics partially offset (lower DUI/speeding incidence), keeping the SUV premium below pickup or EV.
Common SUVs AAA insures in Georgia: Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, Chevy Tahoe, Mazda CX-5.
Why suv drivers pick AAA
Roadside assistance included by default at no rate premium — equivalent value of $60-100/yr in a standalone tow + lockout plan. Membership benefits also extend across travel, identity protection, banking.
Where AAA falls short
AAA's auto insurance pricing is mid-pack to slightly above national average. Coverage and pricing vary materially by regional AAA club (rates in California are run by CSAA, rates in Texas by AAA Texas, etc.) — quote portability across moves is limited.
SUV-specific coverage gotchas
Most SUV policies don't need rideshare riders unless used commercially. Pickup-style oversize-vehicle endorsements typically don't apply (the SUV insurance class line stops at <8,500 lbs GVWR).
Discount stack: Multi-vehicle + good-student discounts stack best on SUV policies because they skew family-household. Verify your carrier extends the multi-driver telematics discount to SUV trim levels — some exclude the larger trims.
