Why Bengals cost what they do
Insurers price each breed by how much they expect to pay out in claims. For the Bengal, the conditions that drive the math are: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM); progressive retinal atrophy; sensitive digestion. That profile puts this breed close to the overall average.
Bengal insurance cost by age
| Age | Typical monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Under 1 year | $24 to $36/mo |
| 1-3 years | $25 to $38/mo |
| 4-6 years | $31 to $48/mo |
| 7-9 years | $45 to $69/mo |
| 10+ years | $57 to $88/mo |
Age is the biggest price driver after breed. Insuring young and keeping the policy avoids the steep senior pricing tiers, and it locks in coverage before any conditions count as pre-existing.
