Who Has Affordable Auto Insurance for a Chevrolet Equinox in Chandler?

Finding the best cheap car insurance for a Chevrolet Equinox hinges on many factors such as how far you commute, whether or not you have prior claims, and any prior driving offenses you have. Drivers in Arizona will pay on average $628 each year for Equinox insurance, but that figure is based on a 50-year-old married female driver with full comprehensive and collision coverage and $1,000 deductibles.

But there is a good chance that you are not 50 years old and maybe not even female, maybe you are single instead of married, or maybe you just want liability only. This example demonstrates why the best way to find the most affordable coverage for your Chevrolet is to do a thorough rate comparison.

The example below illustrates how choosing a deductible can impact insurance prices when quoting cheap insurance for a Chevrolet Equinox. Data assumes a married male driver, comp and collision included, and no policy discounts are applied.

In the chart above, a 30-year-old driver could cut expenses by $322 a year by changing from a $100 deductible up to a $500 deductible, or save $484 by switching to a $1,000 deductible. Youthful drivers, like the 20-year-old, could roll back prices up to $972 every year just by choosing larger deductibles.

If you do raise deductibles, it will be necessary to have enough funds in savings to allow you to pay the extra out-of-pocket expense, which is the one shortcoming of high deductibles.

Price comparison of only insuring for liability

Reducing premiums for insurance is probably important to most people, and one easy way to pay less for insurance for a Chevrolet Equinox is to not insure for full coverage. The example below compares insurance costs when comparing full coverage to liability only. The rate quotes are based on no claims or driving violations, $500 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no other discounts are factored in.

If the expense is averaged for all age categories, full coverage on your policy costs $1,810 per year more than insuring for liability only. That raises the question if you should buy full coverage. There is no definitive rule to eliminate physical damage coverage, but there is a guideline you can consider. If the yearly cost of full coverage is more than around 10% of the settlement you would receive from your company, then you may want to consider only buying liability coverage.

For example, let’s assume your vehicle’s replacement value is $12,000 and you have $1,000 policy deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled in an accident, you would only receive $11,000 after paying your policy deductible. If you are paying over $1,100 annually for your policy with full coverage, then it might be time to buy liability only.

Here’s why price comparisons are so important

Arizona insurance rates are influenced by many factors that will increase or decrease the cost of your policy. Turning one year older, having a teenage driver, or having an at-fault accident may cause policy rate changes resulting in some companies being more affordable than others. Additionally, insurers file new rates as often as every three months in order to remain profitable. Heavy losses can cause additional premium costs, while less frequent claims can produce cheaper Equinox insurance rates.
