Frequently asked questions
01How much is Hyundai Tucson insurance in South Carolina?
South Carolina drivers of a 2024 Hyundai Tucson pay about $159 – $265 per month for full coverage, or roughly $50 – $83 per month for minimum coverage. Your actual rate depends on age, credit, driving history, mileage, and coverage limits — a real quote from a licensed agent typically takes under 2 minutes.
02Is full coverage required on a financed Tucson?
Yes. If your Tucson has a loan or lease, the lender will require both comprehensive and collision (together "full coverage") for the duration of the loan. South Carolina law itself only requires the state liability minimums (25/50/25 plus $1,000 PIP), but the lender's contract overrides that.
03What's the cheapest carrier for a Tucson in South Carolina?
Cheapest varies by driver profile, but in South Carolina the major carriers most often quoting the lowest premiums for a Tucson are GEICO, Progressive, and State Farm. Regional carriers (South Carolina Farm Bureau and Auto-Owners) sometimes beat the majors for clean-record drivers. The only way to know is to compare 3-4 quotes side by side.
04Does the Tucson's 5-star safety rating lower my premium?
Yes, a small but real amount. The Tucson's 5-star NHTSA rating means lower expected injury claims in an at-fault collision, which insurers price into both liability and medical-payments premiums. The discount is typically 2-5% vs an equivalent 3-star vehicle.
05Does South Carolina require SR-22 after a DUI for a Tucson?
After a DUI, South Carolina requires an SR-22 filing from your insurer certifying you carry the state minimum coverage. The filing itself is usually $25, but the underlying premium for a Tucson typically jumps 60-150% for 3-5 years after the DUI. Some carriers won't write new SR-22s — Progressive, Travelers, and The General are the most common SR-22 writers.
