Rates and information analytics

The table displayed below outlines different policy rates for Volkswagen Jetta models. Having a better understanding of how insurance policy premiums are established can help you make smart choices when comparing insurance rates.

Prices based on married female driver age 50, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $500 deductibles, and California minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, multi-vehicle, claim-free, homeowner, and safe-driver. Prices do not factor in vehicle location which can decrease or increase prices noticeably.

Choosing deductibles

A question often asked by Santa Ana drivers is where should you set your physical damage deductibles. The premium rates below highlight the rate differences of buying low and high deductibles. The first set of rates uses a $250 physical damage coverage deductible and the second rate chart uses a $500 deductible.

Data based on married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and California minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include claim-free, safe-driver, homeowner, multi-vehicle, and multi-policy. Prices do not factor in specific location which can alter coverage prices substantially.

Based on the figures above, using a $250 deductible costs an average of $19 more each month or $228 annually than buying the higher $500 deductible. Since the policyholder would be required to pay $250 more if you file a claim with a $500 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you normally average more than 13 months between claim filings, you would probably come out ahead if you opt for a higher deductible.

The information below demonstrates how choosing different deductibles and can affect Volkswagen Jetta insurance prices for each age group. Data assumes a single female driver, comp and collision included, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

Full coverage rates vs. liability-only in Santa Ana

The illustration below shows the difference between Volkswagen Jetta premium costs with full physical damage coverage and with liability coverage only. The information is based on no claims or driving violations, $500 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are applied.

Should you pay for full coverage?

There is no clear-cut rule for excluding physical damage coverage on your policy, but there is a general school of thought. If the annual cost of comprehensive and collision coverage is 10% or more of any settlement you would receive from your insurance company, the it may be a good time to stop paying for full coverage.

For example, let's pretend your Volkswagen Jetta replacement value is $7,000 and you have $1,000 deductibles. If your vehicle is destroyed, the most you would receive is $6,000 after the deductible is paid. If you are paying more than $600 annually for full coverage, then it's probably a good time to buy liability coverage only.

There are some conditions where dropping full coverage is not recommended. If you still owe money on your vehicle, you are required to maintain full coverage in order to prevent your loan from defaulting. Also, if your emergency fund is not enough to purchase a different vehicle in the even your car is totaled, you should not buy liability only.
