How careless driving impacts Chandler auto insurance rates
The best way to score the most affordable auto insurance prices in Arizona for drivers with handicaps is to be a careful driver and avoid accidents and violations. The diagram below highlights how speeding tickets and at-fault claims can increase insurance rates for different age groups of insureds. The rate quotes are based on a married female driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, $1,000 deductibles, and no discounts are factored in.
The data charted above shows the average cost of an auto insurance policy per year with no accidents and a clean driving record is $971. Factor in two speeding tickets and the average cost increases to $1,367, an increase of $396 each year. Then add in two accidents along with the two speeding tickets and the yearly cost of auto insurance for handicapped drivers jumps again to an average of $3,030. That’s an increase of $2,059, or $172 per month, just for not being more responsible behind the wheel!
Do you need full coverage?
Finding the cheapest auto insurance is the goal of most people, and an easy way to buy cheaper insurance for handicapped drivers is to not buy full coverage. The example below illustrates the difference between car insurance costs with liability coverage only compared to full coverage. Data assumes a clean driving record, no at-fault accidents, $500 deductibles, single marital status, and no additional discounts are factored in.
As an average for all age groups, physical damage coverage on your policy costs $1,551 per year over having just liability coverage. At some point, almost every driver questions if buying full coverage is worth the money. There isn’t a written rule for phasing out physical damage insurance, but there is a general guideline. If the annual cost of your full coverage insurance is about 10% or more of replacement cost minus your deductible, then you may want to consider only buying liability coverage.
Why you should shop around
Chandler auto insurance rates are determined by lots of factors which can substantially decrease or increase the price you pay. Simply having a birthday, having a teenage driver, or getting a reckless driving citation can trigger changes in premium that can cause some rates to be cheaper than competitors. In addition to those changes, companies file new Arizona car insurance rates as often as every three months to reflect underwriting profits or losses. Higher than usual claims may cause rate hikes, while a profitable period may result in cheaper Chandler car insurance rates.
