    The car's ability to survive an accident has zero to do with the owner's likelihood to put the car into an accident. It also has nothing to do with repair costs.

    A car's safety is extremely important in factoring the cost of insurance. If you're much more likely to end up with serious injuries that require medical care from a minor impact, the insurance company is taking on more liability and will charge you higher premiums.
