Who Has Cheap Car Insurance Quotes for a Subaru Forester in Scottsdale?

Buying affordable car insurance for a Subaru Forester in Arizona is normally pretty easy, but it relies on a lot of rating criteria such as whether you use your Forester for business use, your occupation, and if you have a history of accidents. Drivers in Arizona will pay around $1,051 per year for Forester insurance, but that cost is an approximation based upon a 50-year-old single male driver with full comprehensive and collision coverage and $100 deductibles.

But there is a good chance that you are not 50 years old and maybe not even male, maybe you are married instead of single, and maybe your Forester just needs liability-only coverage. Each driver’s needs are different, and that demonstrates why the way we recommend to find affordable rates for your Subaru is to put in the effort to do a thorough rate comparison.

Tickets and at-fault accidents raise rates

The recommended way to snag good car insurance prices in Scottsdale for a Forester is to be a good driver and avoid accidents and traffic violations. The chart below illustrates how violations and at-fault accidents increase insurance prices for each different age group. The premiums assume a single female driver, comp and collision included, $250 deductibles, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

In the previous example, the average cost of a car insurance policy in Scottsdale per year with a clean driving record and no accidents is $1,689. Get one speeding ticket and the average cost hikes up to $1,912, an increase of $223 each year. Then add two accidents along with the one speeding ticket and the 12-month cost of car insurance for a Subaru Forester increases to an average of $3,752. That’s an increase of $2,063, or $172 per month, just for being a less-than-perfect driver!

The example below illustrates how your choice of deductibles can change insurance premiums when quoting cheap insurance for a Subaru Forester. Data assumes a single female driver, full coverage, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

In the chart above, a 50-year-old driver could lower rates by $294 a year by switching their comprehensive and collision coverages from a $100 deductible up to a $500 deductible, or save $446 by selecting a $1,000 deductible. Even younger drivers, like the 20-year-old, can save up to $744 or more by using a higher deductible.

When increasing deductibles, it is essential to have enough in a savings account to be able to pay the extra out-of-pocket expense that comes with higher deductibles.

What aren’t you shopping around?

Arizona car insurance rates are impacted by many things that control the cost of a policy. Simply turning a year older, buying a new vehicle, or getting a couple of tickets can trigger changes in premium that may make certain companies affordable when they were higher priced.

Not only that, but insurers change their prices as often as every quarter in order to offset underwriting gains or losses. An extended period of higher than normal claims can cause additional price hikes, while a profitable period may result in cheaper Forester insurance rates.
