Yes, there is a rate difference between 4x2 vehicles and 4x4 vehicles. A vehicle type affects the classification which an automobile falls into.
There is a slight rate difference typically between a 4x2 and a 4x4 in most rating systems. Each insurance company uses a number of different classifications. Here is a quick comparison against 3 of our insurance companies' six month premiums, with all factors being the same except selecting the four by two version of a vehicle and a four by four version of a vehicle:
4x2 six month premiums
- Company A:$666
- Company B:$399
- Company C:$628
4x4 six month premiums
- Company A:$697
- Company B:$405
- Company C:$622
As you can see from this example, depending on the insurance company: it can be higher or lower and it can impact the rate more or less.
