Data based on married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Nevada minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, claim-free, homeowner, multi-policy, and multi-vehicle. Estimates do not factor in vehicle location which can influence prices significantly.
Based on this data, using a $250 deductible will cost in the ballpark of $25 more each month or $300 every year averaged for all Eos models than buying the higher $1,000 deductible. Since you would pay $750 more out of your own pocket with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you tend to have more than 30 months between claim filings, you would more than likely save some money if you choose the higher deductible.
The chart below shows how choosing a deductible and can raise or lower Volkswagen Eos premium costs for different insured age categories. The costs are based on a single female driver, full physical damage coverage, and no discounts are applied to the premium.
Coverages available on your auto insurance policy
Understanding the coverages of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are typical coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.
Collision coverage – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Eos resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against things like backing into a parked car, rolling your car, colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail and sideswiping another vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible on your Eos in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Liability insurance – Liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 15/30/10 that translate to $15,000 bodily injury coverage, $30,000 for the entire accident, and $10,000 of coverage for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers claims like legal defense fees, emergency aid and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy higher limits if possible. Nevada state law requires minimum liability limits of 15/30/10 but you should think about purchasing higher limits.
The next chart shows why minimum state limits may not be enough coverage.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from getting keyed, falling objects, rock chips in glass and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Volkswagen Eos.
Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required (15/30/10), it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.
Insurance for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like EMT expenses, chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses and doctor visits. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Affordable insurance prices are available
When searching for affordable Volkswagen Eos insurance quotes, do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. In many cases, consumers will sacrifice liability limits or collision coverage and found out when filing a claim that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your focus should be to buy the best coverage you can find at the best cost but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
We just covered some good ideas how you can save on Volkswagen Eos insurance in Henderson.
