Get lower-cost Hyundai Tucson insurance in Mesa with discounts
Auto insurance companies don’t always publicize all available discounts in an easy-to-find place, so below is a list both well-publicized and also the more inconspicuous credits available to lower your premiums when you buy Mesa auto insurance online.
- Air Bags and Passive Restraints – Cars that have air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can qualify for discounts as much as 30%.
- Responsible Driver Discount – Insureds who avoid accidents may receive a discount up to 45% than less cautious drivers.

- Discount for Multiple Policies – When you have multiple policies and insure them with the same company you may save as much as 10 to 15 percent.

- Military Deployment Discount – Having a deployed family member could mean lower rates.

The diagram below visualizes the comparison of Hyundai Tucson auto insurance rates with and without discounts applied to the policy premium. The costs are based on a male driver, no claims, a clean driving record, Arizona state minimum liability limits, full coverage, and $250 deductibles.

The tables below show the premium difference when you buy lower versus higher coverage deductibles. The first data set uses a $100 deductible for comp and collision and the second set of rates uses a $1,000 deductible.
Model | Comp | Collision | Liability | Medical | UM/UIM | Annual Premium | Monthly Premium |

Data based on married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Arizona minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, claim-free, multi-policy, multi-vehicle, and homeowner. Price estimates do not factor in specific Mesa garaging location which can decrease or increase prices significantly.
Using the data above, we can ascertain that using a $100 deductible costs roughly $27 more each month or $324 annually than opting for the higher $1,000 deductible. Since the policyholder would be required to pay $900 more to file a claim with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you tend to go at least 33 months between claim filings, you would probably save some money if you opt for a higher deductible.
Rate comparison of full coverage and liability-only
The chart below illustrates the difference between Hyundai Tucson insurance costs when comparing full coverage to liability only. The premiums are based on no claims or driving violations, $1,000 deductibles, single marital status, and no discounts are applied.
When to stop buying comprehensive and collision coverage
There is no set rule that works best for making the decision to drop physical damage insurance, but there is a general school of thought. If the yearly cost of full coverage is 10% or more of the replacement cost minus the deductible, then you may need to consider dropping full coverage.
For example, let’s assume your Hyundai Tucson book value is $6,000 and you have $1,000 physical damage deductibles. If your vehicle is destroyed, the most you would get paid by your company is $5,000 after the policy deductible has been paid. If premium cost is more than $500 a year for full coverage, then you may need to consider dropping full coverage.
There are some scenarios where dropping full coverage is not advised. If you still owe a portion of the original loan, you have to carry full coverage to satisfy the loan requirements. Also, if your savings is not enough to buy a different vehicle in the event your current vehicle is totaled, you should keep full coverage on your policy.
