How much is Dodge Charger insurance in Rhode Island?
For the driver profile in our methodology, a 2024 Dodge Charger costs between $59/mo at the state minimum and $456/mo for low-deductible full coverage. Most owners land in the full-coverage row — lenders and lessors require it.
| Coverage level | What it covers | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum Coverage | Other people's injuries and property only | $59 – $98 | $708 – $1,176 |
| Liability Only | Higher limits; still nothing for your car | $97 – $162 | $1,164 – $1,944 |
| Full CoverageMost ownersYou’re viewing this tier | Adds damage to your Charger, theft, glass | $232 – $387 | $2,784 – $4,644 |
| Full Coverage + Low Deductible | Same, with less out of pocket per claim | $274 – $456 | $3,288 – $5,472 |
What full coverage includes
- Liability at recommended limits, above 25/50/25
- Comprehensive: theft, hail, vandalism, fire, animal strike, glass
- Collision on the Charger, $500 deductible
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist — not listed as part of the state minimum here
What Rhode Island requires to drive a Charger
Rhode Island lists 25/50/25 as the liability floor. That is what makes a Charger legal to drive — not full coverage, not a $500 deductible, and not a particular carrier.
- Liability floor
- 25/50/25
- Fault system
- Rhode Island 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.

Charger insurance cost by model year
Newer models cost more to insure — a 2024 Charger 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 | $232 – $387 | $97 – $162 | — |
| 2023 | $220 – $368 | $96 – $160 | −5% |
| 2022 | $211 – $352 | $95 – $159 | −9% |

Charger vs. comparable vehicles
How the Charger stacks up against the vehicles shoppers most often cross-shop it with — the Toyota Camry insures for about 30% less in Rhode Island. Same coverage, same driver profile.
| Vehicle | Full coverage / mo | vs. Charger | Why it differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dodge Charger | $232 – $387 | — | Above-average claim severity |
| Ford Mustang | $232 – $387 | — | Mustang rates on the same performance loss curve with two fewer doors. |
| Chevrolet Camaro | $225 – $376 | −3% | Camaro sees comparable loss rates with a slightly lower theft ranking. |
| Toyota Camry | $161 – $269 | −30% | Camry shows what the same footprint costs without the performance surcharge. |
Charger insurance cost by Rhode Island city
Providence drivers pay about 12% above the state average while Newport runs 4% below. City pricing follows claim frequency — dense-metro traffic and repair costs carry the surcharge.
| City | Full coverage / mo | vs. RI average |
|---|---|---|
| Providence | $260 – $433 | +12% |
| Pawtucket | $251 – $418 | +8% |
| Cranston | $244 – $406 | +5% |
| Warwick | $237 – $395 | +2% |
| Newport | $223 – $372 | −4% |
Why Charger insurance costs what it costs
Full coverage on a 2024 Dodge Charger in Rhode Island stacks recommended liability limits on top of 25/50/25, plus comprehensive and collision at a $500 deductible. Lenders and lessors typically require that stack for the life of the loan; Rhode Island law itself does not.
The Charger is a sedan 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 #19, which our model applies as a comprehensive surcharge.
About 58% of this modeled full-coverage premium is comprehensive and collision — the part that tracks the Charger's replacement and repair cost rather than Rhode Island's liability floor. The $250-deductible sibling is $274 – $456.
Providence is modeled 12% above the RI average ($260 – $433/mo full coverage on this Charger); Newport is modeled 4% below at $223 – $372. Those city factors scale the same band as the hero — they are not a second rate file.

Is full coverage the right tier for you?
- The Charger is financed or leased — the lender’s contract typically requires comprehensive and collision
- You want a modeled $232 – $387/mo cap on repairing this premium-tier sedan instead of paying a shop out of pocket
- You want first-party coverage on the Charger for crash and non-crash damage
- A paid-off Charger whose actual cash value is well below ~$2,784–$4,644 a year in modeled full-coverage premium
- Very low annual miles where you would rather keep liability and drop the first-party lines
- Drivers who already keep $500+ reserved and want to price the $250-deductible tier ($274 – $456) before deciding
$500 vs $250 deductible on a Charger
On a Charger this model prices a $250 deductible at $42–$69/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.

Add-ons that are not automatic on full coverage
These are typical market add-ons, not Rhode Island mandates and not priced in our rate model. Confirm each line on a quote.
- Rental reimbursement
If this Charger is your only car, a shop visit without a rental add-on is an out-of-pocket week.
Not automatic on full coverage. Typical market price cited elsewhere on this site is $5–15/mo — confirm on the quote, do not treat that as a filed RI rate.
- Loan/lease payoff (gap)
New or financed Dodge Charger: actual cash value after a total loss can sit below the loan.
State law does not require gap. Lenders sometimes sell it at the dealership; price it against the same add-on on the auto policy.
- Roadside assistance
Useful on a sedan 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)
Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island
These are carriers we have real logos for and that commonly quote Rhode Island. We do not publish a per-carrier Charger 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 Charger rate
- Raise your deductible to $1,000. On a Charger premium this is the single biggest lever you control directly.Saves ~$25–$46/mo
- Shop at least three carriers. Rates for the identical Charger profile differ by 2x or more between carriers in Rhode Island.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 Charger 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 Rhode Island 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.
Dodge Charger insurance in Rhode Island: FAQ
01Is full coverage required on a financed Charger in Rhode Island?
Typically yes, by contract — not by Rhode Island statute. The state floor is 25/50/25. A lender can force-place a policy if you drop comprehensive or collision. This page models the $500-deductible stack at $232 – $387.
02What does Rhode Island actually require to drive a Charger?
Rhode Island lists 25/50/25 as the liability floor. Full coverage is a market/lender product on top of that, modeled here at $232 – $387 for a 2024 Dodge Charger.
03Does Charger insurance cost more in Providence than in Newport?
In this model, yes — Providence is 12% vs the RI average ($260 – $433/mo full coverage) and Newport is -4% ($223 – $372). Same 2024 Dodge Charger, same driver profile; only the city factor changes.
04Does the Charger's NICB rank change this Rhode Island premium?
Our model applies a comprehensive surcharge when a vehicle is on the NICB top-100 list. The Charger is rank #19. That is a modeled modifier, not a carrier’s filed theft factor for your ZIP.
05When does dropping collision on an older Charger in Rhode Island make sense?
When the car’s actual cash value is no longer worth a modeled $2,784–$4,644 a year in full coverage. A common rule of thumb is to drop first-party coverages when 10× the annual premium exceeds the car’s value — keep the liability portion either way. Rhode Island still wants 25/50/25 on the road.
