Auto insurance does more than just repair your car

Even though Omaha Canyon insurance rates can get expensive, insuring your vehicle is required for several reasons.

First, most states have minimum liability requirements which means state laws require a specific minimum amount of liability in order to license the vehicle. In Nebraska these limits are 25/50/25 which means you must have $25,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.

Second, if you took out a loan on your vehicle, it’s guaranteed your bank will make it a condition of the loan that you carry insurance to ensure they get paid if you total the vehicle. If you let the policy lapse, the lender may have to buy a policy to insure your GMC for a much higher rate and make you pay much more than you were paying before.

Third, insurance safeguards both your GMC Canyon and your personal assets. Insurance will pay for medical transport and hospital expenses for both you and anyone you injure as the result of an accident. Liability coverage, the one required by state law, also covers all legal expenses up to the policy limit if you are named as a defendant in an auto accident. If you receive damage to your vehicle caused by a storm or accident, collision and comprehensive (also known as other-than-collision) coverage will cover the damage repairs after a deductible is paid.

The benefits of having insurance definitely exceed the price paid, especially when you need to use it. But the average driver in Nebraska overpays more than $700 annually so it’s important to compare rates at least once a year to be sure current rates are still competitive.

Premium rates and analysis

The rate table displayed next showcases a range of insurance premium costs for GMC Canyon models. Having insight into how policy rates are established is important for making decisions when shopping around.

Cost estimates assume married female driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $250 deductibles, and Nebraska minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include claim-free, safe-driver, multi-vehicle, multi-policy, and homeowner. Rate quotes do not factor in specific location information which can alter prices noticeably.

Higher deductibles save money

A question often asked by Omaha drivers is how high should the deductibles for physical damage be. The rates below approximate the costs and benefits between high and low policy deductibles. The first rate estimation uses a $250 physical damage coverage deductible and the second set of prices uses a $1,000 deductible.

Prices based on married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Nebraska minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, multi-vehicle, homeowner, claim-free, and safe-driver. Estimates do not factor in your specific Omaha location which can influence price quotes greatly.

Based on this data, using a $250 deductible will cost you approximately $21 more each month or $252 for a full year than choosing the higher $1,000 deductible. Since you would pay $750 more if you file a claim with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you tend to average at least 36 months between claim filings, you would probably save some money if you opt for a higher deductible.

One thing to be aware of is that increasing deductibles to save money results in a higher out-of-pocket expense at claim time. That will require some extra funds in the event you have to pay the higher deductible in order to repair your vehicle.

The illustration below illustrates how choosing a deductible and can affect GMC Canyon insurance prices for each age group. The data assumes a married female driver, comp and collision included, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

Does full coverage make sense?

The diagram below illustrates the comparison of GMC Canyon car insurance costs when comparing full coverage to liability only. The information is based on no claims or driving citations, $1,000 deductibles, single marital status, and no discounts are applied.

When to drop comp and collision

There is no clear-cut rule to delete comp and collision coverage, but there is a general school of thought. If the yearly cost of full coverage is about 10% or more of replacement cost minus your deductible, then it’s probably a good time to buy liability coverage only.

For example, let’s pretend your GMC Canyon settlement value is $9,000 and you have $1,000 full coverage deductibles. If your vehicle is severely damaged, you would only receive $8,000 after you pay the deductible. If you are paying over $800 a year for physical damage coverage, then you might want to consider buying only liability coverage.

There are some circumstances where eliminating full coverage is not recommended. If you haven’t paid off your loan, you must maintain physical damage coverage in order to satisfy the requirements of the loan. Also, if your savings is not enough to buy a different vehicle if your current one is in an accident, you should maintain full coverage.
