How much is Ford Mustang insurance in Ohio?
For the driver profile in our methodology, a 2024 Ford Mustang costs between $29/mo at the state minimum and $228/mo for low-deductible full coverage. Most owners land in the full-coverage row — lenders and lessors require it.

What Ohio requires to drive a Mustang
Ohio lists 25/50/25 as the liability floor. That is what makes a Mustang legal to drive — not full coverage, not a $500 deductible, and not a particular carrier.
- Liability floor
- 25/50/25
- Fault system
- Ohio is a tort (at-fault) state — the driver who causes a crash is who liability pays for.
- PIP
- PIP is not a required minimum in this state.
- Uninsured motorist in the minimum
- UM/UIM is not listed as part of the state minimum in our registry — it is typically added, not assumed.
Mustang insurance cost by model year
Newer models cost more to insure — a 2024 Mustang runs about 17% more than a 2020 — because comp and collision track replacement value and parts cost. Liability barely moves with age.
| Model year | Full coverage / mo | Liability / mo | vs. 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $116 – $193 | $49 – $81 | — |
| 2023 | $110 – $183 | $49 – $80 | −5% |
| 2022 | $106 – $176 | $48 – $79 | −9% |
| 2021 | $101 – $168 | $47 – $78 | −13% |
| 2020 | $96 – $160 | $46 – $76 | −17% |
Mustang vs. comparable vehicles
How the Mustang stacks up against the vehicles shoppers most often cross-shop it with — the Toyota Camry insures for about 30% less in Ohio. Same coverage, same driver profile.
| Vehicle | Full coverage / mo | vs. Mustang | Why it differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang | $116 – $193 | — | Above-average claim severity |
| Chevrolet Camaro | $113 – $188 | −3% | Camaro's loss profile is nearly identical — theft rank is what splits them. |
| Dodge Charger | $116 – $193 | — | Charger adds two doors and a higher theft ranking. |
| Toyota Camry | $81 – $134 | −30% | Camry benchmarks the non-performance alternative at far lower claim severity. |
Mustang insurance cost by Ohio city
Cleveland drivers pay about 16% above the state average while Dayton runs 3% below. City pricing follows claim frequency — dense-metro traffic and repair costs carry the surcharge.
| City | Full coverage / mo | vs. OH average |
|---|---|---|
| Cleveland | $135 – $224 | +16% |
| Columbus | $131 – $218 | +13% |
| Cincinnati | $129 – $214 | +11% |
| Toledo | $118 – $197 | +2% |
| Dayton | $113 – $187 | −3% |
Why Mustang insurance costs what it costs
Minimum coverage on a 2024 Ford Mustang in Ohio is the 25/50/25 package — bodily injury and property damage you cause, up to those caps. It does not pay to repair or replace this Mustang. Ohio requires that package (or a listed alternative) to drive legally.
The Mustang is a coupe in the premium MSRP tier, with above-average claim severity in our model and a 4-star NHTSA overall rating in our registry. It also carries NICB Hot Wheels rank #22, which our model applies as a comprehensive surcharge.
On this Mustang the modeled ladder in Ohio runs $29 – $49 at minimum, $49 – $81 at higher liability, and $116 – $193 once comprehensive and collision attach — that last jump is the car showing up on the bill.
Cleveland is modeled 16% above the OH average ($135 – $224/mo full coverage on this Mustang); Dayton is modeled 3% below at $113 – $187. Those city factors scale the same band as the hero — they are not a second rate file.

Is minimum coverage the right tier for you?
- Title is free and clear on a Mustang you can afford to replace without an insurer
- You accept that Ohio's 25/50/25 caps may be below a serious injury claim
- Mileage and parking exposure are low enough that you are choosing to self-insure the car
- Anyone still financing or leasing the Mustang — this tier is not what a lender typically accepts
- Anyone who cannot pay a Mustang repair bill without insurance
- Anyone whose assets exceed Ohio's 25/50/25 caps
$500 vs $250 deductible on a Mustang
On a Mustang this model prices a $250 deductible at $21–$35/mo above the $500 deductible. You save $250 per comprehensive or collision claim; you pay the extra premium every month whether you claim or not.
| Tier | Deductible | Monthly | Annual | In this file |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard full coverage | $500 | $116 – $193 | $1,392–$2,316 | Default first-party deductible in this model |
| Low-deductible full coverage | $250 | $137 – $228 | $1,644–$2,736 | Priced at 1.18× the $500 band in rates.ts |
Add-ons that are not automatic on minimum coverage
These are typical market add-ons, not Ohio mandates and not priced in our rate model. Confirm each line on a quote.
- Roadside assistance
Useful on a coupe you drive far from a dealer network — towing, lockout, flat.
2024 vehicles may still have factory roadside; stacking two roadside products rarely helps.
- Medical payments (MedPay)
Ohio does not require PIP, so MedPay is the usual small first-party medical add-on for occupants.
It is not a substitute for health insurance, and it is not required in this state.
Carriers that commonly quote Ohio
These are carriers we have real logos for and that commonly quote Ohio. We do not publish a per-carrier Mustang price — that would be a fabricated quote. The range on this page is the modeled band, not “from $X at GEICO.”

How to lower your Mustang rate
- Raise your deductible to $1,000. On a Mustang premium this is the single biggest lever you control directly.Saves ~$12–$23/mo
- Shop at least three carriers. Rates for the identical Mustang profile differ by 2x or more between carriers in Ohio.Saves up to $1,000+/yr
- Clean up billing. Paid-in-full, paperless, and autopay credits stack — small individually, real together, and none are applied unless you ask.Saves 3–8%
- Add an anti-theft device. The Mustang is on the NICB most-stolen list — a tracked immobilizer or kill switch earns a filed comprehensive credit with most carriers.Saves 3–10%
- Report your real mileage. Commuting under ~10,000 miles a year moves you down a rating band with most carriers, and pay-per-mile programs go further if you drive little.Saves 5–15%
- Bundle home or renters. Multi-policy is the largest standing discount most carriers file — typically 10–20% off the auto side.Saves 10–20%
About these numbers
Sources. Rate ranges are modeled from average premiums published by the Ohio Department of Insurance and industry rate data, adjusted per vehicle using NICB theft rankings, NHTSA safety ratings, MSRP tier, and repair-severity data. They are estimates, not filed quotes.
Rating profile. Unless noted: a 35–55-year-old driver with a clean record, average credit where states allow it, 12,000 annual miles, and standard $500 comprehensive and collision deductibles. Your rate will differ — that is the point of quoting.
Ranges, not averages. We publish a band rather than a single average because the spread between carriers for the same driver routinely exceeds 2x — a lone number hides the gap that makes shopping worth your time.
What this model does not do. It does not publish age-band prices, ticket/DUI/credit surcharge tables, per-carrier quotes, J.D. Power ranks, NAIC complaint indexes, or IIHS/HLDI scores. Vehicle knobs are only the four in the rate model: MSRP tier, NICB theft rank, NHTSA stars, and repair-severity tier. The $250-deductible band is the $500 band × 1.18.
Ford Mustang insurance in Ohio: FAQ
01Does Ohio's 25/50/25 minimum pay to fix my Mustang?
No. That package is liability for other people. A damaged 2024 Ford Mustang is only paid for if you buy collision (crash) or comprehensive (non-crash). Those lines start at the full-coverage tier, which models at $116 – $193/mo on this page.
02What does Ohio actually require to drive a Mustang?
Ohio lists 25/50/25 as the liability floor. Full coverage is a market/lender product on top of that, modeled here at $116 – $193 for a 2024 Ford Mustang.
03Does Mustang insurance cost more in Cleveland than in Dayton?
In this model, yes — Cleveland is 16% vs the OH average ($135 – $224/mo full coverage) and Dayton is -3% ($113 – $187). Same 2024 Ford Mustang, same driver profile; only the city factor changes.
04Does the Mustang's NICB rank change this Ohio premium?
Our model applies a comprehensive surcharge when a vehicle is on the NICB top-100 list. The Mustang is rank #22. That is a modeled modifier, not a carrier’s filed theft factor for your ZIP.
