Do you need full coverage?

Reducing premiums for insurance is the goal of most vehicle owners, and one good way to reduce the cost of insurance for handicapped drivers is to not insure for full coverage. The information below compares insurance prices with and without full coverage. The data assumes a clean driving record, no at-fault accidents, $250 deductibles, single marital status, and no discounts are taken into consideration.

If we average the cost for all age groups, comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy costs an extra $2,000 per year over and above liability only. That is a large expense which might make you wonder if buying full coverage is a good investment. There is no exact rule for eliminating full coverage, but there is a guideline you can use. If the annual cost of having full coverage is more than about 10% of any settlement you would receive from your insurance company, then you may want to consider only buying liability coverage.

For example, let’s pretend your vehicle’s book value is $9,500 and you have $1,000 policy deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled in an accident, the most your company will settle for is $8,500 after paying your policy deductible. If it’s costing you more than $850 annually for full coverage, then you might want to think about dropping full coverage.

There are a few situations where dropping full coverage is not a good idea. If you haven’t paid off your loan, you must maintain physical damage coverage as part of the loan requirements. Also, if your emergency fund is not enough to purchase a different vehicle if your current one is in an accident, you should keep full coverage in place.

Why you should compare rates

Texas insurance rates are impacted by many factors which can substantially decrease or increase the price you pay. Getting older, buying a new vehicle, or getting a driving violation can cause premium changes that can cause some rates to be more affordable than before. In addition, insurers change prices at least once a year as an adjustment for underwriting gains or losses. Unexpectedly high claims can result in additional price hikes, while a better claims history may result in cheaper Lubbock car insurance rates.
