Insurance for a minivan costs $757 per year per year, on average, according to WalletHub data. A minivan is usually more expensive to insure than other types of vehicles, such as a sedan, a coupe, or a truck. Insurers consider factors like safety ratings, repair costs, claims rates, and popularity with thieves when determining premiums for a specific type of vehicle.
