How Much is Arlington Auto Insurance for a Hyundai Elantra?

Buying competitive auto insurance for a Hyundai Elantra is fairly simple, but it relies on a whole bunch of factors such as whether you are male or female, your geographic location, and the level of deductible you choose. Drivers in Texas pay on average $1,354 a year for Elantra insurance, but that figure is an approximation calculated based on a 40-year-old single male driver with full comprehensive and collision coverage and $100 deductibles.

But there is a high probability that you may not be 40 years old (or even male), married instead of single, or you just want cheap liability insurance instead of full coverage. Just a minor difference in rating criteria or coverage limits can make a large difference in policy price.

Should you buy full coverage?

Buying cheaper insurance is probably important to the majority of vehicle owners, and one great way to buy cheaper insurance for a Hyundai Elantra is to not buy comprehensive and collision coverage. The information below compares insurance costs with full coverage and liability only. The prices are based on no violations or claims, $100 deductibles, drivers are single, and no other discounts are factored in.

If we average the cost for all age groups, full coverage on your policy costs $2,181 per year more than just buying liability only. That is a large expense which might make you wonder if it’s a good idea to buy full coverage. There is no clear-cut rule of when to exclude physical damage coverage on your policy, but there is a general school of thought. If the yearly cost of comp and collision coverage is about 10% or more of the settlement you would receive from your company, then you might want to think about dropping full coverage.

For example, let’s assume your vehicle’s replacement cost is $4,500 and you have $1,000 physical damage deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled in an accident, the most your company will settle for is $3,500 after paying your policy deductible. If you are paying more than $350 annually for comprehensive and collision coverage, then you might want to think about dropping full coverage.

There are some circumstances where dropping full coverage is not advised. If you haven’t satisfied your loan, you must maintain physical damage coverage in order to prevent your loan from defaulting. Also, if you don’t have enough money to buy a different vehicle in case of an accident, you should not buy liability only.
