Cost estimates assume married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Nevada minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-vehicle, safe-driver, claim-free, multi-policy, and homeowner. Price information does not factor in specific garaging location which can affect coverage prices significantly.
Based on this data, we can arrive at the conclusion that using a $100 deductible will cost you roughly $27 more each month or $324 each year than choosing the higher $500 deductible. Since you would pay $400 more to settle a claim with a $500 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you have at a minimum 15 months between claim filings, you would come out ahead by going with a higher deductible. Here’s the way this determination is made.
| Average monthly premium for $100 deductibles: | $123 |
| Average monthly premium for $500 deductibles (subtract): | – $96 |
| Monthly savings from raising deductible: | $27 |
| Difference between deductibles ($500 – $100): | $400 |
| Divide difference by monthly savings: | $400 / $27 |
| Number of months required between physical damage coverage claims in order to save money by choosing the higher deductible | 15 months |
The chart below highlights how deductible choice and can increase or decrease Infiniti FX35 premium costs for each different age category. The premium estimates are based on a married male driver, full physical damage coverage, and no additional discounts are factored in.
Drive safe and save
The illustration below shows how traffic citations and accident claims can affect Infiniti FX35 auto insurance costs for each age group. Data assumes a single male driver, full physical damage coverage, $250 deductibles, and no discounts are taken into consideration.
Liability only or full coverage
The chart below compares Infiniti FX35 premium costs with full physical damage coverage and with liability coverage only. The premiums are based on no claims or driving citations, $100 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no additional discounts are factored in.
Deciding between full coverage and liability only
There is no set guideline for dropping physical damage coverage, but there is a guideline you can use. If the annual cost of comprehensive and collision coverage is more than around 10% of the replacement cost of your vehicle minus the policy deductible, then it could be time to drop full coverage.
For example, let’s assume your Infiniti FX35 book value is $8,000 and you have $1,000 policy deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled, the most your company would pay you is $7,000 after you pay the deductible. If premium cost is more than $700 a year for full coverage, then it could be time to drop full coverage.
There are some circumstances where dropping physical damage coverage is not a good plan. If you still owe money on your vehicle, you have to carry full coverage as part of the loan requirements. Also, if you can’t afford to buy a different vehicle if your current one is totaled, you should keep full coverage in place.
Protect more than your FX35
Despite the high cost of buying insurance for a Infiniti FX35 in Henderson, maintaining insurance may be required and benefits you in several ways.
- The majority of states have minimum liability requirements which means it is punishable by state law to not carry a minimum amount of liability insurance coverage if you don’t want to risk a ticket. In Nevada these limits are 15/30/10 which means you must have $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $10,000 of property damage coverage.
- If your Infiniti FX35 has a lienholder, almost all lenders will make it a condition of the loan that you have insurance to ensure loan repayment if the vehicle is totaled. If you let the policy lapse, the lender will be forced to insure your Infiniti at a much higher rate and require you to fork over for the much more expensive policy.
- Auto insurance preserves not only your car but also your assets. It will also provide coverage for medical transport and hospital expenses for yourself as well as anyone injured by you. Liability insurance will also pay to defend you if anyone sues you for causing an accident. If your Infiniti gets damaged, your policy will pay all costs to repair after the deductible has been paid.
The benefits of carrying adequate insurance are without a doubt worth the cost, specifically if you ever have a liability claim. As of last year, the average driver in Nevada is wasting up to $850 per year so smart consumers compare quotes every year to save money.
Companies offer many discounts on Infiniti FX35 insurance in Henderson
Not many people think insurance is cheap, but you may find discounts that can help lower your rates. Some of these discounts will be visible when you quote, but some may not be applied and must be specially asked for in order for you to get them.

Choosing an provider should depend on more than just the bottom line cost. Any agent in Henderson should be willing to answer these questions.
- Are they actively involved in the community?
- When do they do policy reviews?
- How would your car be valued if totaled?
- If your car is in the repair shop, do you have coverage for a rental car?

If you need to find a local insurance agency, it’s helpful to know the types of insurance agents and how they work. Agents can be categorized as either independent (non-exclusive) or exclusive. Either one can sell and service car insurance coverage, but it’s important to point out the difference in how they write coverage because it can factor into buying decisions.
Exclusive Insurance Agents
Agents that choose to be exclusive can only place business with one company such as State Farm, Allstate and AAA. They generally cannot give you multiple price quotes so you need to shop around if the rates are high. Exclusive agencies are trained well on the products they sell which helps them sell on service rather than price.
Listed below are exclusive insurance agents in Henderson who may provide you with rate quotes.

Coverage specifics
Learning about specific coverages of auto insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the normal coverages found on most auto insurance policies.
Coverage for medical expenses
Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like ambulance fees, dental work and nursing services. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Collision coverage protection
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for claims like scraping a guard rail, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter, colliding with another moving vehicle and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also bump up the deductible on your FX35 to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive auto insurance
This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from flooding, fire damage and hitting a deer. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Liability
Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see values of 15/30/10 which means a $15,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $30,000, and a limit of $10,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage pays for things like court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible. Nevada state law requires minimum liability limits of 15/30/10 but you should think about purchasing more coverage.
The chart below demonstrates why minimum state limits may not be enough coverage.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many Nevada drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required (which is 15/30/10), their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.
