Insurance coverage analysis

The data table shown below outlines estimates of insurance costs for Toyota Sequoia models. Learning as much as possible about how prices are figured can help customers make informed decisions when comparing rate quotes.

Table data assumes single male driver age 50, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $100 deductibles, and Colorado minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include claim-free, safe-driver, homeowner, multi-vehicle, and multi-policy. Rate quotes do not factor in Colorado Springs location which can modify auto insurance rates noticeably.

Raise deductibles and save

When buying auto insurance, a common question is how high should your deductibles be. The premium rates below approximate the price difference between high and low deductibles. The first rate estimation uses a $100 physical damage coverage deductible and the second price chart uses a $1,000 deductible.

Data based on married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Colorado minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, safe-driver, claim-free, multi-vehicle, and homeowner. Information does not factor in vehicle location which can increase or decrease price quotes substantially.

Based on the above data, using a $100 deductible costs approximately $41 more each month or $492 a year than opting for the higher $1,000 deductible. Since you would pay $900 more if you turn in a claim with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you normally go at least 22 months between claim filings, you would more than likely save some money if you choose the higher deductible. Here’s an example of how this decision is made.

One important caveat is that raising deductibles to get cheaper rates means you will have to cover more of the damage yourself at claim time. That will force you to have some non-essential savings in order to pay the deductible for vehicle repair.

The chart below demonstrates how choosing different deductibles and can affect Toyota Sequoia insurance premiums for each age group. The premium estimates are based on a married male driver, comp and collision included, and no additional discounts are factored in.

Does full coverage make sense?

The illustration below illustrates the difference between Toyota Sequoia auto insurance rates with liability coverage only compared to full coverage. The price estimates are based on no claims or driving citations, $1,000 deductibles, single status, and no additional discounts are factored in.

Are you wasting money paying for full coverage?

There is no specific rule to delete comp and collision coverage, but there is a general guideline you can use. If the yearly cost for physical damage coverage is 10% or more of the replacement cost minus the deductible, then you might want to consider buying only liability coverage.

For example, let’s assume your Toyota Sequoia settlement value is $8,000 and you have $1,000 policy deductibles. If your vehicle is destroyed, the most your company would pay you is $7,000 after paying your policy deductible. If you are currently paying more than $700 a year to have full coverage, then it might be time to consider dropping full coverage.

There are some conditions where dropping full coverage is not advised. If you still have a loan on your vehicle, you have to maintain full coverage in order to keep the loan. Also, if you cannot afford to purchase a different vehicle if your current one is in an accident, you should keep full coverage in place.
