Who Has Cheap San Diego Auto Insurance for a Toyota RAV4?

Finding economical car insurance for a Toyota RAV4 in California depends on a complicated formula that considers factors such as whether you are married, your profession, and physical damage deductibles.

But there is a high probability that you may not be 30 years old (or even female), maybe you are single instead of married, or maybe you have a teen driver on your policy that needs to be considered. Just a slight change in rating variables may result in a big change in the coverage rate.

There is no one cookie-cutter policy that works for everyone, so the only way to find affordable rates for your Toyota is to just compare rates yourself. Price quotes are quick and you will receive price comparisons from the cheapest companies in California.

Full coverage or liability only

Saving money when shopping for insurance should be important to most drivers, and one great way to find cheap insurance for a Toyota RAV4 is to only buy liability coverage. The chart below compares premium costs with and without physical damage coverage, medical payments, and uninsured/under-insured motorist coverage. The rates are based on no accidents, no driving violations, $100 deductibles, drivers are single, and no other discounts are factored in.

If averaged for all ages, comp and collision coverage costs $2,998 per year more than insuring for liability only. At some point, almost every driver questions if you should buy full coverage at all. There is no definitive guideline for excluding physical damage insurance, but there is a guideline you can consider. If the yearly cost of comp and collision coverage is more than 10% of the replacement cost of your vehicle minus the policy deductible, then it might be time to buy liability only.

The diagram below shows how choosing a deductible can impact insurance costs when researching cheap insurance for a Toyota RAV4. The premiums assume a single male driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, and no policy discounts are applied.

The chart above illustrates that a 30-year-old driver could lower their policy premium by $488 a year by changing from a $100 deductible up to a $500 deductible, or save $736 by using a $1,000 deductible. Even younger insureds, like the 20-year-old example, could shave $1,432 annually by choosing a larger deductible amount.

When choosing a higher deductible, it will be required to have emergency funds available to allow you to cover the extra out-of-pocket expense. That is the one drawback of using higher deductibles.

How to find more affordable insurance for a Toyota RAV4

It’s not impossible to find cheaper rates, and here are a few money-saving solutions that can help you quote cheaper car insurance.

• Having at-fault accidents will increase rates
• Just one traffic violation will increase your rates
• On older vehicles, drop full coverage
• Increase physical damage deductibles
• Do not file small claims
• Comparison shop at least once a year

That final tip is especially vital, as was stressed in the prior article. Rates in San Diego vary considerably, so don’t be tentative to switch companies if a better deal can be had. Staying with the same company for years is fine, but it’s not recommended if that loyalty results in overpaying thousands of dollars over the life of your policy.
