How Much is Fresno Auto Insurance for a Hyundai Elantra?

Finding economical car insurance for a Hyundai Elantra in California is pretty simple for most people to do, but it depends on a large number of factors such as how far you drive to work, the likelihood of vehicle theft, and driving violations and tickets. Drivers in California pay on average $1,201 per year to insure their Elantra, but that is a valuation based upon a 40-year-old married male driver with full physical damage coverage and $250 deductibles.

Odds are that you aren’t exactly 40 years old or even a male, single instead of married, or you just prefer to insure for liability only. This illustrates why the only real way to find the cheapest rates for your Hyundai is to do the rate comparisons yourself.

Do you need full coverage?

Lowering the price of insurance should be important to most people, and one of the easiest ways to find cheaper insurance for a Hyundai Elantra is to only buy liability coverage. The information below shows the difference between premium costs when comparing full coverage to liability only. The information is based on no tickets, no at-fault accidents, $250 deductibles, single status, and no policy discounts are applied.

If we average all the age groups together, comp and collision coverage costs an additional $2,933 per year more than just insuring for liability. At some point, every insured wonders when is it a good idea to stop buying full coverage. There is no definitive guideline to delete full coverage, but there is a general convention. If the annual cost of coverage is more than about 10% of any settlement you would receive from your insurance company, then you might want to consider buying only liability coverage.

How accidents and tickets impact rates

The obvious way to earn cheap insurance premiums in Fresno for an Elantra is to pay attention while driving and have a clean driving record. The chart below demonstrates how speeding tickets and accident claims can drive up auto insurance costs for each age group. The premiums are based on a single female driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, $250 deductibles, and no discounts are taken into consideration.

The data in the chart shows the average cost of a car insurance policy in California per year with no violations or accidents is $2,780. Receive one speeding ticket and the average cost jumps to $3,151, an increase of $371 each year. Then throw in one accident along with the one speeding ticket and the 12-month cost of insurance for a Hyundai Elantra increases to an average of $4,209. That’s an increase of $1,429, or $119 per month, just for not driving responsibly!

The diagram below demonstrates how deductible levels can increase or decrease insurance premiums when quoting cheap insurance for a Hyundai Elantra. The price estimates are based on a married female driver, comp and collision included, and no other discounts are factored in.

The data above shows that a 40-year-old driver could pocket $408 a year by switching their comprehensive and collision coverages from a $100 deductible to a $500 deductible, or save $614 by using a $1,000 deductible. Even younger insureds, such as the 20-year-old chart data, could lower their rates up to $1,008 every year by using higher deductibles when buying full coverage.

When choosing a higher deductible, it will be necessary to have plenty of discretionary funds to cover the extra out-of-pocket expense associated with higher deductibles.
