Save Money on Acura ZDX Insurance in Mesa

If you want to find the absolute lowest rates, then the best way to find low-cost prices for Acura ZDX insurance is to compare prices regularly from companies that sell auto insurance in Mesa.

• Step 1: Try to comprehend how companies set rates and the measures you can control to drop your rates. Many rating criteria that result in higher prices like at-fault accidents, speeding tickets, and poor credit history can be improved by making minor changes in your lifestyle.
• Step 2: Request rate estimates from independent agents, exclusive agents, and direct companies. Exclusive agents and direct companies can only give prices from one company like GEICO or Farmers Insurance, while independent agents can provide price quotes from multiple insurance companies.
• Step 3: Compare the new quotes to your current policy premium to determine if switching companies saves money. If you can save some money and change companies, make sure there is no coverage gap between policies.
• Step 4: Notify your current company of your decision to cancel the current policy. Submit payment along with a signed and completed policy application for your new coverage. As soon as you can, put the new proof of insurance paperwork somewhere easily accessible.

The most important part of this process is that you’ll want to make sure you compare similar coverage information on each quote and and to get rate quotes from every insurance company. Doing this guarantees a fair rate comparison and maximum price selection.

It’s easy to assume that auto insurance companies don’t want their customers to go rate shopping. Insureds who shop around for cheaper price quotes will most likely switch to a new company because they stand a good chance of finding a more affordable policy premium. A study showed that people who made a habit of comparing rates saved $3,450 over four years as compared to drivers who never shopped around.

If finding the cheapest rates on insurance in Mesa is the reason for your visit, then having an understanding of the best way to shop and compare insurance rates can make it easier to find better rates.

Detailed insurance information

The premium table below highlights estimates of policy rates for Acura ZDX models. Having a better understanding of how policy rates are determined can be valuable when making smart choices when selecting a policy.

Above prices assume married female driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $500 deductibles, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, multi-policy, claim-free, multi-vehicle, and homeowner. Rate quotes do not factor in garaging location in Mesa which can impact coverage prices greatly.

Where to set your deductibles

A question often asked by Mesa drivers is the level to set your comp and collision deductibles. The tables below may help you to understand how much more you’ll pay between low and high policy deductibles. The first pricing table uses a $100 physical damage deductible and the second rate table uses a $1,000 deductible.

Premium data assumes married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-vehicle, safe-driver, claim-free, multi-policy, and homeowner. Price information does not factor in vehicle garaging location which can alter coverage prices substantially.

We can estimate from the data above that using a $100 deductible costs about $42 more each month or $504 annually than selecting the higher $1,000 deductible. Due to the fact that you would have to pay $900 more out of your own pocket with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you tend to go at a minimum 21 months between claim filings, you would come out ahead by selecting a higher deductible.

Acura ZDX full coverage rates compared to liability only

The diagram below illustrates the comparison of Acura ZDX insurance premiums with full coverage and liability only. The premiums assume no violations or claims, $100 deductibles, single status, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

Deciding between full coverage and liability only

There is no exact rule for eliminating full coverage on your policy, but there is a guideline you can use. If the annual cost of coverage is about 10% or more of the vehicle’s replacement cost less your deductible, then it might be time to buy liability only.

For example, let’s assume your Acura ZDX replacement cost is $8,000 and you have $1,000 deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled, the most you would receive is $7,000 after paying your policy deductible. If it’s costing in excess of $700 annually for full coverage, then you may want to consider only buying liability coverage.

There are some cases where only buying liability is not a good plan. If you still owe a portion of the original loan, you are required to maintain full coverage in order to prevent your loan from defaulting. Also, if your savings is not enough to buy a different vehicle in case of an accident, you should not buy liability only.

Insurance discounts are available to cut your rates

Companies offering auto insurance don’t necessarily list all possible discounts very well, so the following list contains a few of the more common and also the more inconspicuous discounts that may be available.

• Senior Discount – Older drivers may receive a discount up to 10%.
• Good Student – Getting good grades may save you up to 25%. You can use this discount normally up until you turn 25.
• Seat Belts Save – Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to buckle up could save 15% off PIP or medical payments premium.
• Multi-Vehicle Discounts – Buying a policy with more than one vehicle with the same company can get a discount on all vehicles.
• Student Discount for Driver Training – Cut your cost by having your teen driver enroll and complete driver’s education as it will make them better drivers and lower rates.
• Multiple Policy Discount – If you insure your home and vehicles and insure them with the same company you will save at least 10 to 15 percent or more.
• Responsible Drivers – Accident-free drivers may receive a discount up to 45% than their less cautious counterparts.
• Active Service Discounts – Having a deployed family member could qualify you for better premium rates.
• No Claim Discounts – Insureds with no claims or accidents are rewarded with significantly better rates on Mesa auto insurance quote compared to policyholders that have many claims.
• Pay Now and Pay Less – If you can afford to pay the entire bill as opposed to paying monthly you can avoid monthly service charges.

Policy discounts save money, but many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. Even though the math looks like you can get free auto insurance, insurance companies aren’t that generous.

Choosing Acura vehicle insurance is an important decision

Despite the high cost of buying insurance for a Acura ZDX in Mesa, insurance may be required for several reasons.

First, most states have minimum mandated liability insurance limits which means state laws require specific minimum amounts of liability insurance in order to license the vehicle. In Arizona these limits are 15/30/10 which means you must have $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $10,000 of property damage coverage.

Second, if you have a lien on your ZDX, more than likely the lender will require you to carry insurance to guarantee loan repayment. If coverage lapses or is canceled, the bank may buy a policy for your Acura at a much higher rate and force you to pay for the much more expensive policy.

Third, insurance protects both your vehicle and your personal assets. It will also pay for many types of medical costs for you, your passengers, and anyone else injured in an accident. Liability insurance, one of your policy coverages, also pays expenses related to your legal defense if you are sued as the result of an accident. If you have damage to your Acura as the result of the weather or an accident, collision and comprehensive (also known as other-than-collision) coverage will pay all costs to repair after the deductible has been paid.

The benefits of insuring your ZDX more than cancel out the cost, especially for larger claims. According to a survey of 1,000 drivers, the average driver is overpaying over $800 each year so you should quote and compare rates at every policy renewal to ensure rates are inline.

Mesa auto insurance agents are either independent or exclusive

If you want to buy insurance from an insurance agent, there are two different agency structures and how they differ in how they quote coverages. Insurance agents are categorized either independent or exclusive. Both types can write insurance policies, but it’s important to know the difference in how they write coverage since it can impact the type of agent you choose.

Exclusive Insurance Agents

Exclusive agents work for only one company like State Farm, AAA, Farmers Insurance or Allstate. They generally cannot compare rates from other companies so always compare other rates. Exclusive insurance agents are usually quite knowledgeable on what they offer which helps overcome the inability to quote other rates.
