What drives the cost of insuring a GMC Terrain

The strongest predictor of what insurers charge for a specific model is its claims history. HLDI publishes relative insurance losses for recent models (2022-2024), where 100 is the average of all passenger vehicles. The GMC Terrain's results put our vehicle factor at 1.00× for liability, 0.86× for collision and 0.82× for comprehensive.

How we estimate this

We start from the state's average liability, collision and comprehensive premiums published by the NAIC, then apply a location factor (population density and commute time from the Census ACS, weather hazard scores from FEMA's National Risk Index), a vehicle factor (HLDI insurance-loss data where available, otherwise vehicle segment), and a driver-profile multiplier. Results are rounded ranges for comparison, not quotes. Read the full methodology.
