Data assumes married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Nebraska minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, safe-driver, claim-free, homeowner, and multi-vehicle. Price information does not factor in the specific area where the vehicle is garaged which can affect premiums noticeably.
Based on this data, we can arrive at the conclusion that using a $100 deductible will cost you roughly $32 more each month or $384 each year across all Mazda 6 models than requesting the higher $1,000 deductible. Because you would be required to pay $900 more to file a claim with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you normally average at least 28 months between claim filings, you would save more money going with the higher deductible.
Full coverage rates compared to liability-only
The diagram below illustrates the comparison of Mazda 6 insurance costs with full coverage and liability only. The rates are based on no tickets, no at-fault accidents, $1,000 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are applied to the premium.
Should you buy full coverage or liability only?
There is no set rule to eliminate full coverage on your policy, but there is a general guideline. If the yearly cost for physical damage coverage is about 10% or more of the replacement cost of your vehicle minus the policy deductible, then it might be time to buy liability only.
For example, let’s say your Mazda 6 replacement cost is $5,000 and you have $1,000 policy deductibles. If your vehicle is destroyed, the most your company would pay you is $4,000 after paying the physical damage deductible. If premium cost is more than $400 a year for comprehensive and collision coverage, the it may be a good time to stop paying for full coverage.
There are some situations where eliminating full coverage is not advised. If you still owe money on your vehicle, you have to carry full coverage as part of the loan conditions. Also, if your emergency fund is not enough to purchase a different vehicle if your current one is totaled, you should not opt for liability only.
Insurance is not optional in Nebraska
Despite the high cost of buying insurance for a Mazda 6 in Omaha, insuring your vehicle is not optional due to several reasons.
- Most states have mandatory insurance requirements which means state laws require specific minimum amounts of liability insurance coverage if you don’t want to risk a ticket. 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.
- If your vehicle has a lienholder, most lenders will force you to have physical damage coverage to protect their interest in the vehicle. If you default on your policy, the lender will be forced to insure your Mazda at a much higher premium rate and require you to reimburse them for it.
- Insurance protects both your car and your personal assets. It will also cover medical expenses incurred in an accident. Liability coverage, the one required by state law, also covers legal expenses in the event you are sued. If you receive damage to your vehicle caused by a storm or accident, collision and comprehensive coverages will pay to repair the damage.
The benefits of buying insurance are without a doubt worth the cost, especially with large liability claims. But the average driver in Nebraska is overpaying over $865 each year so it’s important to compare rates at least once a year to save money.
Auto insurance discounts are available for cheaper rates
Auto insurance companies don’t always list every discount they offer very well, so below is a list both the well known and the more hidden credits available to you.
- New Vehicle Savings – Buying a new car instead of a used 6 may earn a small discount because new model year vehicles are generally safer.
- Anti-lock Brake System – Cars, trucks, and SUVs equipped with ABS or steering control can avoid accidents so companies give up to a 10% discount.
- Theft Prevention Discount – Vehicles that have factory anti-theft systems help deter theft and can earn a small discount on your policy.
- Defensive Driver Discounts – Taking time to complete a driver safety course could earn you a small percentage discount if your company offers it.
- Discount for Multiple Policies – If you can bundle your home and auto insurance with one company you could get a discount of up to 20% off your total 6 insurance premium.
- Own a Home and Save – Simply owning a home may earn you a small savings due to the fact that maintaining a home is proof of financial responsibility.
- More Vehicles More Savings – Buying insurance for multiple cars on the same auto insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
Discounts lower rates, but most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So when the math indicates all the discounts add up to a free policy, you won’t be that lucky.
The example below compares Mazda 6 car insurance rates with and without some available policy discounts. The premium estimates are based on a female driver, no violations or claims, Nebraska state minimum liability limits, full coverage, and $250 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with multi-policy, multi-car, claim-free, homeowner, marriage, and safe-driver discounts applied.
Some companies who may offer these benefits may include but are not limited to:
- GEICO
- Mercury Insurance
- Farmers Insurance
- Auto-Owners Insurance
- Liberty Mutual
- SAFECO
- Progressive
- USAA

Auto insurance coverages explained
Understanding the coverages of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Liability coverages
This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined limit which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for claims like legal defense fees, funeral expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, repair costs for stationary objects and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible. Nebraska requires minimum liability limits of 25/50/25 but drivers should carry more liability than the minimum.
The next chart demonstrates why minimum state limits may not be adequate coverage.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like theft, rock chips in glass and fire damage. The maximum amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision coverage protection
This coverage covers damage to your 6 resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for things such as hitting a parking meter, colliding with a tree and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible on your 6 to get cheaper collision coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Mazda 6.
Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law (which is 25/50/25), it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses like dental work, rehabilitation expenses and X-ray expenses. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
How much can you save?
Lower-priced auto insurance in Omaha is possible online and from local insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. A few companies don’t offer online rate quotes and these regional insurance providers sell through independent agencies.
Insureds change insurance companies for many reasons like high prices, delays in paying claims, high rates after DUI convictions or even extreme rates for teen drivers. No matter why you want to switch, choosing a new company is pretty simple and you could end up saving a buck or two.
You just learned a lot of ways to compare Mazda 6 insurance rates in Omaha. The key thing to remember is the more price quotes you have, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. Drivers may even discover the best rates are with a small local company.
Steps to buying lower priced Mazda 6 insurance in Omaha
Really, the only way to find low-cost prices for auto insurance rates in Omaha is to start doing an annual price comparison from insurers in Nebraska.
- First, get an understanding of the coverage provided by your policy and the modifications you can make to drop your rates. Many rating criteria that cause rate increases like tickets, at-fault accidents, and a not-so-good credit history can be remedied by making minor changes in your lifestyle.
- Second, obtain price quotes from exclusive agents, independent agents, and direct providers. Exclusive and direct companies can provide rates from a single company like GEICO and State Farm, while agents who are independent can provide price quotes for a wide range of insurance providers. Begin your rate comparison
- Third, compare the new rates to your existing rates to determine if switching companies saves money. If you find a lower rate quote and switch companies, make sure there is no lapse between the expiration of your current policy and the new one.
- Fourth, provide adequate notice to your current company of your intention to cancel your existing policy. Submit a down payment along with a signed application to your new agent or company. As soon as you can, keep your new proof of insurance paperwork in your vehicle.
The most important part of this process is to make sure you’re comparing similar deductibles and liability limits on every price quote and and to get price quotes from as many companies as possible. Doing this guarantees a fair price comparison and a complete price analysis.
