The chart above illustrates that a 40-year-old driver could reduce rates by $282 a year by increasing from a $100 deductible up to a $500 deductible, or save $424 by choosing a $1,000 deductible.

Difference between liability only and full coverage rates

Saving on auto insurance is important to most people, and one common way to find cheaper insurance for drivers under 21 is to not pay for full coverage. The example below illustrates the comparison of insurance prices with and without full coverage. The price estimates are based on no claims or driving violations, $100 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no other discounts are factored in.

If we average the cost for ages 20 through 70, comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy costs an additional $1,722 per year more than just buying liability only. At some point, every insured wonders when is the right time to remove full coverage. There is no set guideline for dropping full coverage on your policy, but there is a guideline you can consider. If the annual cost of your full coverage insurance is more than about 10% of the vehicle’s replacement cost less your deductible, then you may want to consider only buying liability coverage.

For example, let’s assume your vehicle’s replacement cost is $3,000 and you have $1,000 physical damage deductibles. If your vehicle is destroyed, the most you would get paid by your company is $2,000 after the deductible is paid. If you are paying over $200 annually to have full coverage, then you might want to consider buying only liability coverage.
