Does car insurance cost more for hybrids then they do for regular cars?

I want to get the new Nissan Altima Hybrid which has a base price of $24,400. The Nissan Altima SE is $24,000. It's a similar price with both cars, but I'm just wondering if insurance on the Hybrid would be much, much more per month.

1. No, there is no difference. Whether or not the car is a hybrid does not affect the cost of insurance. You do get a really nice tax credit when you buy a hybrid. Because of this tax credit, when you buy a hybrid car it is as if the car was actually $2000 dollars cheaper than it's sale price!
2. I just ran a generic quote for both and the premium stayed within $5 of each other, the hybrid actually being cheaper.
3. There's a good chance it will be as Hybrid vehicle are a pain in the a** to repair and the repairs are costly. Check with your insurance company.
