How Much is Fresno Car Insurance for a GMC Acadia?

Finding economical auto insurance for a GMC Acadia relies on a complicated rating formula that uses factors such as your age, if you have prior claims, and citations on your driving record. Drivers pay approximately $1,233 each year to insure their Acadia, but that figure is an estimate based upon a 40-year-old married female driver with full coverage and $250 deductibles.

When making auto insurance estimates, the issue arises that you may not be 40 years old (or even female), maybe you are single instead of married, or maybe you rent instead of own your home. Having what appears to be a very minor change in the criteria used to calculate rates could result in a significant change in the cost of a policy.

Everyone has unique insurance needs, and this illustrates why the only way to find cheap auto insurance rates for your GMC is to just compare rates yourself.

Insure Your GMC for Less

The trim level of your vehicle has an effect on the annual cost of coverage, so the rate you will pay to insure a Acadia SL 2WD will be $176 cheaper than the price to insure the more expensive Acadia SLT AWD model, as shown below.

Above prices assume married female driver age 40, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $250 deductibles, and California minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, claim-free, safe-driver, homeowner, and multi-vehicle. Premium costs do not factor in specific location which can modify rates noticeably.

Finding decent, cheap car insurance is easier said than done, and deciding which company quotes the most affordable auto insurance rates for a GMC Acadia may require even more rate comparisons. Each company uses different criteria for determining rates, so let’s begin by examining the overall cheapest auto insurance companies in Fresno, CA.

It’s important to understand that Fresno auto insurance rates are impacted by many factors that may substantially change the price you pay.

Should you buy full coverage?

Finding the cheapest auto insurance is probably important to most people, and an easy way to find cheaper insurance for a GMC Acadia is to only pay for liability coverage. The information below illustrates the difference between car insurance costs with liability coverage only compared to full coverage. The rates are based on a clean driving record, no at-fault accidents, $500 deductibles, marital status is single, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

On average, full coverage on your policy costs $2,502 per year more than just buying liability only. Many of you may wonder if paying for full coverage is worth it. There is no written rule of when to exclude physical damage insurance, but there is a guideline you can consider. If the yearly cost of comp and collision coverage is more than about 10% of the replacement cost of your vehicle minus the policy deductible, then you might want to consider buying only liability coverage.

For example, let’s assume your vehicle’s replacement value is $12,000 and you have $1,000 policy deductibles. If your vehicle is severely damaged, the most you would receive is $11,000 after the policy deductible has been paid. If you are paying over $1,100 a year for your policy with full coverage, the it may be a good time to stop paying for full coverage.

The example below shows how choosing a deductible can influence insurance rates when trying to find cheap insurance for a GMC Acadia. The costs are based on a single male driver, comp and collision included, and no other discounts are factored in.

The chart above illustrates that a 40-year-old driver could reduce rates by $362 a year by switching from a $100 deductible to a $500 deductible, or save $546 by changing to a $1,000 deductible. Youthful drivers, like the 20-year-old, could reduce their rates $1,190 each year by choosing a higher deductible. If you do decide to increase your deductibles, it will be necessary to have additional savings on hand to offset the extra out-of-pocket expense that is associated with using high deductibles.
