Why the Wrangler rates the way it does
The Wrangler is an unusual case: modest on-road performance risk but a real theft problem, and removable panels and doors add exposure.
Body-on-frame construction keeps some repairs simple, but specialised parts add cost.
How fast it loses value
Depreciation is usually the largest cost of the first five years, and the one that never sends you a bill.
Projected resale value from new. After five years this model typically retains about 54% of its original price.

How model year changes the premium
Same driver, same city (Mississauga), different model years:
| Model year | Typical value | Estimated annual premium |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $48,000 | $4,000 – $6,400 |
| 2023 | $32,000 | $3,560 – $5,700 |
| 2020 | $22,500 | $3,220 – $5,160 |
| 2016 | $14,000 | $2,800 – $4,480 |
| 2012 | $13,500 | $2,620 – $4,200 |
How your record changes it
Same vehicle, same city, different drivers — usually a bigger swing than the car itself:
| Driver | Estimated annual premium |
|---|---|
| Clean record, 10+ years licensed, full G | $3,560 – $5,700 |
| G2 licence, 1–2 years licensed | $5,900 – $9,450 |
| One at-fault claim in the last 6 years | $4,780 – $7,640 |
| Full G, 3–5 years licensed, clean | $4,280 – $6,840 |

How to pay less on this vehicle
- Shop it properly. The biggest lever — quotes for the same driver differ by 50% or more.
- Winter tires. Ontario insurers are required to offer a discount.
- Telematics. Usually the largest single discount available.
- Bundle home or tenant insurance.
- Raise the deductible — only if you could absorb it.
