Who Has Affordable Auto Insurance for a Chevrolet Equinox in Albuquerque?

Buying competitive insurance for a Chevrolet Equinox in New Mexico doesn’t take a lot of effort, but it relies on an enormous amount of rating factors such as whether you use your Equinox for business use, whether or not you have filed claims in the past, and your choice of physical damage deductibles. New Mexico drivers will pay around $1,061 annually to insure their Equinox, but that cost is a valuation calculated based on a 40-year-old married male driver with full comprehensive and collision coverage and $100 deductibles.

When projecting a rate like this, the problem is that you may not be 40 years old (or even male), maybe you are single instead of married, and you want different coverage limits than the example. This shows why the only real way to find affordable rates for your Chevrolet is to compare as many rates as you can.

USAA offers some of the most affordable car insurance rates in Albuquerque at around $663 a year. Allied, Safeco, Farm Bureau Mutual, and State Farm also qualify as some of the most economical Albuquerque, NM insurance companies.

Remember that these policy rates are averages for all types of insureds and vehicles and and are not figured with a specific vehicle garaging location for a Chevrolet Equinox. So the company that fits you best may not even be in the list above. That affirms the importance of why you need to quote rates from as many companies as possible using your own personal information and vehicle type.

The chart below visualizes the comparison of insurance premiums with and without discounts applied to the policy rates. The price estimates are based on a female driver, a clean driving record, no at-fault accidents, New Mexico state minimum liability limits, full physical damage coverage, and $1,000 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows insurance cost with no discounts. The second shows the rates with accident-free, vehicle safety, anti-theft, claim-free, multiple vehicle, and safe-driver discounts applied. When taking advantage of discounts, theaverage amount saved on car insurance for a Chevrolet Equinox is 28% or $427.

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

As shown above, a 40-year-old driver could save $262 a year by changing their physical damage coverage from a $100 deductible up to a $500 deductible, or save $396 by selecting a $1,000 deductible. Younger drivers, like the 20-year-old category, could reduce their rates up to $652 each year just by choosing larger deductibles.

When insureds make the decision to increase the deductibles on their policy, it is necessary to have additional funds squirreled away to be able to pay the extra out-of-pocket expense. That is the one drawback of using higher deductibles.

The common sense way to find the best car insurance premiums for an Equinox is to be a cautious driver and avoid accidents and traffic violations. The diagram below demonstrates how traffic citations and accident claims can impact insurance premiums for each age group. Data assumes a married male driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, $1,000 deductibles, and no additional discounts are factored in.

In the previous chart, the average cost of a car insurance policy per year with a clean driving record and no accidents is $1,361. Receive two speeding tickets and the average cost surges to $1,868, an increase of $507 each year. Now add one accident along with the two speeding tickets and the 12-month cost of car insurance for a Chevrolet Equinox goes up to an average of $2,384. That’s an increase of $1,023, or $85 per month, just for not driving responsibly!
