How much is Jeep Cherokee insurance in Utah?
For the driver profile in our methodology, a 2024 Jeep Cherokee costs between $38/mo at the state minimum and $248/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 | $38 – $63 | $456 – $756 |
| Liability OnlyYou’re viewing this tier | Higher limits; still nothing for your car | $53 – $88 | $636 – $1,056 |
| Full CoverageMost owners | Adds damage to your Cherokee, theft, glass | $126 – $210 | $1,512 – $2,520 |
| Full Coverage + Low Deductible | Same, with less out of pocket per claim | $149 – $248 | $1,788 – $2,976 |
What liability only includes
- Liability limits above the 25/65/15 plus $3,000 PIP floor (typically 50/100 or 100/300 in the market — your quote sets the number)
- Personal injury protection at the Utah required minimum
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist — not listed as part of the state minimum here
- Still no comprehensive or collision on the Cherokee
What Utah requires to drive a Cherokee
Utah lists 25/65/15 plus $3,000 PIP as the liability floor. That is what makes a Cherokee legal to drive — not full coverage, not a $500 deductible, and not a particular carrier.

- 25/65/15 plus $3,000 PIP
- Fault system
- Utah is a no-fault state — PIP typically rides on every policy.

Cherokee insurance cost by model year
Newer models cost more to insure — a 2024 Cherokee 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 | $126 – $210 | $53 – $88 | — |
| 2023 | $120 – $200 | $52 – $87 | −5% |
| 2022 | $115 – $191 | $52 – $86 | −9% |
| 2021 | $110 – $183 | $51 – $84 | −13% |
| 2020 | $105 – $174 | $50 – $83 | −17% |
Cherokee vs. comparable vehicles
How the Cherokee stacks up against the vehicles shoppers most often cross-shop it with — the Toyota RAV4 insures for about 4% less in Utah. Same coverage, same driver profile.
| Vehicle | Full coverage / mo | vs. Cherokee | Why it differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeep Cherokee | $126 – $210 | — | Segment-average claim severity |
| Toyota RAV4 | $121 – $202 | −4% | RAV4's lower claim severity prices it under the Cherokee. |
| Ford Escape | $121 – $202 | −4% | Escape shares domestic parts economics and rates slightly lower. |
| Chevrolet Equinox | $121 – $202 | −4% | Equinox's simpler drivetrain mix keeps repair claims cheaper. |
Cherokee insurance cost by Utah city
Salt Lake City drivers pay about 12% above the state average while St. George runs 6% below. City pricing follows claim frequency — dense-metro traffic and repair costs carry the surcharge.
| City | Full coverage / mo | vs. UT average |
|---|---|---|
| Salt Lake City | $141 – $235 | +12% |
| West Valley City | $136 – $227 | +8% |
| Ogden | $130 – $216 | +3% |
| Provo | $123 – $206 | −2% |
| St. George | $118 – $197 | −6% |
Why Cherokee insurance costs what it costs
Liability-only on a 2024 Jeep Cherokee in Utah raises the limits above 25/65/15 plus $3,000 PIP but still leaves the Cherokee uninsured for its own damage. Collision, theft, hail, glass, and animal strikes stay with the owner.
The Cherokee is a SUV in the mainstream MSRP tier, with near-segment-average claim severity in our model and a 4-star NHTSA overall rating in our registry. It is not on the NICB top-100 most-stolen list in our registry, so theft is not a modeled comprehensive surcharge here.
Liability-only here ($53 – $88) sits between the $38 – $63 minimum and $126 – $210 full-coverage bands. You are paying for higher limits, not for repairing the Cherokee.
Salt Lake City is modeled 12% above the UT average ($141 – $235/mo full coverage on this Cherokee); St. George is modeled 6% below at $118 – $197. Those city factors scale the same band as the hero — they are not a second rate file.

Is liability only the right tier for you?
- The Cherokee is paid off and you want more lawsuit room than 25/65/15 plus $3,000 PIP without paying $126 – $210 for the car itself
- You can cash-fund a total loss on this mainstream-tier SUV
- You are deliberately banking the $73–$122/mo gap to full coverage
- Financed or leased Cherokee — comprehensive and collision are typically required
- A newer mainstream-tier SUV whose replacement cost still dwarfs $53 – $88
- Drivers who park in weather- or theft-exposed conditions and cannot self-insure comprehensive losses
$500 vs $250 deductible on a Cherokee
On a Cherokee this model prices a $250 deductible at $23–$38/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 | $126 – $210 | $1,512–$2,520 | Default first-party deductible in this model |
| Low-deductible full coverage | $250 | $149 – $248 | $1,788–$2,976 | Priced at 1.18× the $500 band in rates.ts |
Add-ons that are not automatic on liability coverage
These are typical market add-ons, not Utah mandates and not priced in our rate model. Confirm each line on a quote.
- Roadside assistance
Useful on a SUV you drive far from a dealer network — towing, lockout, flat.
2024 vehicles may still have factory roadside; stacking two roadside products rarely helps.
Carriers that commonly quote Utah
These are carriers we have real logos for and that commonly quote Utah. We do not publish a per-carrier Cherokee 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 Cherokee rate
- Raise your deductible to $1,000. On a Cherokee premium this is the single biggest lever you control directly.Saves ~$13–$25/mo
- Shop at least three carriers. Rates for the identical Cherokee profile differ by 2x or more between carriers in Utah.Saves up to $1,000+/yr
- Right-size your PIP. Utah is a no-fault state — if your health insurance already covers auto injuries, coordinating or trimming PIP limits cuts a mandatory coverage you may be double-paying.Saves 5–15%
- Ask about safety-tech discounts. Automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, and anti-theft equipment all carry filed credits with some carriers — none are applied unless you ask.Saves 3–8%
- 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 Utah 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.

02What does Utah actually require to drive a Cherokee?
