The chart below illustrates how choosing a deductible and can increase or decrease Volvo C70 insurance costs for each different age group. The price estimates are based on a single male driver, full coverage, and no discounts are applied.

Gender differences in car insurance premiums

The diagram below visualizes the comparison of Volvo C70 insurance prices for male and female drivers. The price estimates are based on no tickets, no at-fault accidents, full coverage, $500 deductibles, marital status is single, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

Comparison of full coverage and liability-only policies

The diagram below illustrates the comparison of Volvo C70 car insurance rates with full coverage compared to only the Texas minimum liability coverage. The data assumes a clean driving record, no at-fault accidents, $500 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no policy discounts are applied.

When to drop full coverage

There is no specific rule of when to exclude full coverage, but there is a broad guideline. If the annual cost of having full coverage is more than about 10% of the settlement you would receive from your company, then it might be time to consider dropping full coverage.

For example, let’s pretend your Volvo C70 claim settlement value is $7,000 and you have $1,000 full coverage deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled in an accident, the most you would receive is $6,000 after paying your policy deductible. If you are paying more than $600 a year for full coverage, then it may be the right time to buy liability only.

There are a few situations where buying only liability insurance is not recommended. If you have an outstanding loan on your vehicle, you have to carry full coverage to satisfy the loan requirements. Also, if you don’t have enough money to buy a different vehicle if your current one is damaged, you should maintain full coverage.

Why auto insurance is not optional

Despite the fact that auto insurance is not cheap in Arlington, maintaining insurance is required for several reasons.

• Most states have minimum liability requirements which means you are required to carry a specific minimum amount of liability in order to license the vehicle. In Texas these limits are 30/60/25 which means you must have $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $60,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you have a loan on your Volvo C70, almost all lenders will make it mandatory that you have comprehensive coverage to ensure they get paid if you total the vehicle. If coverage lapses or is canceled, the lender will be forced to insure your Volvo at a much higher rate and force you to pay the higher price.
• Insurance safeguards not only your vehicle but also your financial assets. It also can pay for many types of medical costs for yourself as well as anyone injured by you. Liability coverage, the one required by state law, will also pay to defend you if you are named as a defendant in an auto accident. If your car is damaged in a storm or accident, comprehensive and collision coverage will pay to have it repaired.

The benefits of carrying adequate insurance are definitely more than the cost, especially for larger claims. According to a survey of 1,000 drivers, the average driver is currently overpaying as much as $825 a year so it’s recommended you shop around at every policy renewal to ensure rates are inline.

Earn discounts on Arlington insurance

Insurance can be pricey, but you may qualify for discounts that you may not even be aware of. Most are applied when you quote, but some need to be manually applied before they will apply.

• Theft Deterrent System – Vehicles optioned with advanced anti-theft systems help deter theft and will qualify for a discount on a Arlington auto insurance quote.
• Arlington Homeowners Discount – Owning a home in Arlington can help you save on insurance because owning a home requires personal responsibility.

• Waiver for an Accident – This one is not really a discount per se, but certain companies permit an accident before raising your premiums if your claims history is clear for a set time period.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most credits do not apply to the entire policy premium. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. If you do the math and it seems like you can get free auto insurance, it’s just not the way it works. But all discounts will help lower the cost of your policy.

Exclusive and independent Arlington car insurance agents

Exclusive Auto Insurance Agencies

Agents in the exclusive channel can only provide pricing for a single company like AAA, Allstate, and State Farm. Exclusive agents are unable to provide prices from multiple companies so they have no alternatives for high prices. Exclusive agents are usually well trained on the products they sell and that allows them to sell at a higher price point.

Listed below are Arlington exclusive agents that are able to give price quote information.

Car insurance coverage basics

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are typical coverages found on most car insurance policies.

Collision coverage – This coverage pays for damage to your C70 resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox, crashing into a building and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also raise the deductible on your C70 to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Volvo C70.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required (30/60/25 in Texas), their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Coverage for liability – Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 30/60/25 that translate to $30,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $60,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability coverage pays for things like emergency aid, attorney fees, bail bonds, pain and suffering and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible. Texas state minimum liability requirements are 30/60/25 but it’s recommended drivers buy more coverage.

The chart below shows why the minimum limit may not be adequate coverage.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as hail damage, fire damage and damage from flooding. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses for chiropractic care, EMT expenses, hospital visits and prosthetic devices. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
