Oldsmobile Auto Insurance

Oldsmobile was one of the luxury brands of General Motors in recent years. Launched in the 1890s as Olds Motor Works, the company's first vehicles became available in 1901. By 1910, few consumers could actually afford one of these vehicles. The Oldsmobile Limited cost more to purchase than a new house (about $4,500). The Oldsmobile Silhouette, Oldsmobile Alero and Oldsmobile Bravada were the last vehicles in the company's production line. General Motors phased Oldsmobile out of existence in 2004; however, you may still own an Oldsmobile, and auto insurance is certainly available for most makes.

Oldsmobile risks and safety information

Many of the Oldsmobile models passed front and side crash tests, but some models scored poorly, such as the Oldsmobile Cutlass, the Oldsmobile Royale, the Oldsmobile Bravada and the Oldsmobile Achieva. The Oldsmobile Intrigue received mixed results on front and side crash test results, ranging from poor to good ratings. It's also important to note that not one Oldsmobile model made the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Picks Safety list, which could slightly affect your auto insurance premium, especially if you purchase personal injury protection or medical payments coverage.

Also, there are some theft risk considerations for owning an Oldsmobile. Three Oldsmobile models made the list of the top 100 most commonly stolen vehicles put out by the National Insurance Crime Bureau. These were: the Oldsmobile Cutlass, the Oldsmobile Delta and the Oldsmobile Regency. Theft risk can also lead to higher insurance rates, though the effect will generally be nominal.
