Three main reasons to buy insurance

Despite the potentially high cost of Toyota Tacoma insurance, insurance is required for several reasons.

• Just about all states have minimum mandated liability insurance limits which means it is punishable by state law to not carry a specific level of liability insurance if you don’t want to risk a ticket. In Hawaii these limits are 20/40/10 which means you must have $20,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $40,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $10,000 of property damage coverage.
• If your vehicle has a lienholder, almost every bank will make it a condition of the loan that you have comprehensive coverage to ensure the loan is repaid in case of a total loss. If you cancel or allow the policy to lapse, the bank may buy a policy for your Toyota at a significantly higher premium and require you to fork over for the expensive policy.
• Insurance preserves both your assets and your Toyota. It will also pay for medical expenses for yourself as well as anyone injured by you. One policy coverage, liability insurance, will also pay attorney fees if anyone sues you for causing an accident. If mother nature or an accident damages your car, collision and comprehensive (also known as other-than-collision) coverage will pay to repair the damage minus the deductible amount.

The benefits of carrying adequate insurance are definitely more than the cost, especially with large liability claims. According to a 2015 survey, the average American driver overpays more than $825 a year so we recommend shopping around every year to save money.

Premium rates and analysis

The information displayed next covers a range of rate quotes for Toyota Tacoma models. Learning how rates are determined can aid in making smart choices when selecting a coverage provider.

Data based on single male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $100 deductibles, and Hawaii minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include homeowner, safe-driver, claim-free, multi-vehicle, and multi-policy. Prices do not factor in vehicle garaging location which can affect premium rates considerably.

Policy deductibles

One of the more difficult decisions when buying car insurance is how high should your deductibles be. The figures shown below can help show how much more you’ll pay when you select higher and lower policy deductibles. The first set of rates uses a $250 deductible for physical damage and the second set of rates uses a $1,000 deductible.

Table data represents married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Hawaii minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, claim-free, multi-policy, homeowner, and multi-vehicle. Estimates do not factor in vehicle garaging location which can modify premiums greatly.

Based on this data, we can arrive at the conclusion that using a $250 deductible costs about $20 more each month or $240 every year than requesting the higher $1,000 deductible. Due to the fact that you would have to pay $750 more to file a claim with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you tend to have at a minimum 38 months between claims, you would probably save some money if you opt for a higher deductible.

The illustration below highlights how deductible selection and can impact Toyota Tacoma annual premium costs for different ages of insureds. The data is based on a married male driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

Companies offer money-saving discounts on Toyota Tacoma insurance in Honolulu

Some insurance providers don’t list every policy discount in an easy-to-find place, so below is a list a few of the more common as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving when you buy Honolulu auto insurance online. If you’re not getting every credit available, you are throwing money away.

• Data Collection Discounts – Insureds that choose to allow companies to track driving patterns remotely such as In-Drive from State Farm or Allstate’s Drivewise system might see lower rates as long as the data is positive.
• Good Student – Maintaining excellent grades could provide a savings of up to 20% or more. The discount lasts up until you turn 25.
• Accident Forgiveness Coverage – This one isn’t a discount, but a handful of insurance companies may permit one accident before your rates go up as long as you don’t have any claims before the accident.
• Discounts for Seat Belt Usage – Drivers who require all occupants to buckle their seat belts could save 15% off the personal injury premium cost.
• Discount for New Cars – Adding a new car to your policy can get you a discount compared to insuring an older model.
• Life Insurance Discount – Auto insurance companies who offer life insurance give better rates if you take out a life insurance policy as well.

You can save money using discounts, but most credits do not apply to the whole policy. The majority will only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. Just because it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you aren’t that lucky. But all discounts should definitely cut the cost of your policy.

The example below compares Toyota Tacoma insurance costs with and without discounts being applied to the rates. The premiums assume a female driver, no violations or claims, Hawaii state minimum liability limits, full coverage, and $1,000 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with multi-policy, safe-driver, homeowner, marriage, claim-free, and multi-car discounts applied.

It’s not one size fits all

When selecting insurance from an agent or online for your vehicles, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Every situation is different and your policy should reflect that.
These are some specific questions may help you determine whether your personal situation might need professional guidance.

• Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
• If I drive on a suspended license am I covered?
• When should I remove comp and collision on my Toyota Tacoma?
• Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
• Is my Toyota Tacoma covered if I use it for business?
• Will damage be repaired with OEM parts?
• Can my babysitter drive my car?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.
