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 Liberty Mutual insures in Maine: Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, Chevy Tahoe, Mazda CX-5.
Why suv drivers pick Liberty Mutual
Customizable policy structure — pay-as-you-go RightTrack, accident forgiveness as a paid add-on, and a 'lifetime repair guarantee' on network-shop work.
Where Liberty Mutual falls short
Mid-pack rates and customer-satisfaction scores. Where Liberty wins is on the breadth of its rider/discount catalog rather than base rate.
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.
