Statistics and details

The price information below showcases different insurance coverage prices for Volvo S40 models. Being more informed about how insurance policy premiums are established can be valuable when making smart policy decisions.

Above prices assume married female driver age 40, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $250 deductibles, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, homeowner, claim-free, multi-policy, and multi-vehicle. Premium amounts do not factor in garaging location in Chandler which can affect prices substantially.

Choosing deductibles

A question often asked by Chandler drivers is how high should the deductibles for physical damage be. The comparison tables below can help illustrate how much more you’ll pay when you buy lower versus higher physical damage coverage deductibles. The first set of prices uses a $250 physical damage coverage deductible and the second set of rates uses a $500 deductible.

Above prices assume married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, multi-policy, claim-free, homeowner, and multi-vehicle. Rate information does not factor in Chandler location which can modify price quotes noticeably.

We can estimate from the data above that using a $250 deductible will cost you about $13 more each month or $156 annually than opting for the higher $500 deductible. Because you would pay $250 more if you file a claim with a $500 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you normally average at least 19 months between claim filings, you would save money by selecting a higher deductible.

The example below shows how choosing a deductible and can affect Volvo S40 insurance premiums for each different age group. The rates are based on a married female driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, and no other discounts are factored in.

Accidents and violations increase rates

How much more does full coverage cost in Chandler?

The diagram below shows the comparison of Volvo S40 insurance rates with liability coverage only compared to full coverage. The price estimates are based on no accidents, no driving violations, $100 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are taken into consideration.

When to stop paying for full coverage

There is no exact rule to eliminate comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy, but there is a guideline you can consider. If the yearly cost for physical damage coverage is 10% or more of the replacement cost minus the deductible, then it could be time to drop full coverage.

For example, let’s say your Volvo S40 settlement value is $6,000 and you have $1,000 policy deductibles. If your vehicle is destroyed, you would only receive $5,000 after paying your policy deductible. If premiums are more than $500 a year for full coverage, then it’s probably a good time to buy liability coverage only.

There are a few cases where removing full coverage is not in your best interest. If you have an outstanding loan on your vehicle, you have to carry full coverage as part of the loan conditions. Also, if you cannot afford to purchase a different vehicle if your current one is damaged, you should not drop full coverage.
