Today, consumers have many more types and options of vehicles to choose from than ever before, so we scanned the industry to put together these lists as a guide for consumers to consider in terms of insurance costs.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (November 18, 2020) – New vehicle sales have rebounded since April of this year, but prices have climbed to record highs due to strong consumer demand. Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY), a leading auto insurer in California and provider of auto insurance in 10 other states, has put together lists of the most affordable new vehicles for various segments and fuel types to help consumers find a vehicle that will save them money on insurance.

Mercury wants to help them understand that there are ways to keep ownership costs low and save money,” said Chong Gao, director of product management R&D for Mercury Insurance. “Today, consumers have many more types and options of vehicles to choose from than ever before, so we scanned the industry to put together these lists as a guide for consumers to consider in terms of insurance costs.”
