What Is Full Coverage Insurance?
How Much Does Full Coverage Insurance Cost?
- Age and driving history — rates typically remain stable ages 65–75, then increase 10–25% after age 75 as statistical accident rates rise
- Vehicle value and age — a $15,000 paid-off sedan costs $80–$140/mo less to insure full coverage than a $45,000 newer vehicle
- Deductible amount — increasing from $500 to $1,000 deductible reduces comprehensive and collision premiums by 15–30%
- Annual mileage — senior drivers averaging under 7,500 miles/year often qualify for low-mileage discounts of 5–20%
- Mature driver course completion — AARP Smart Driver or state-approved defensive driving courses can reduce rates 5–15% for 3 years
- Prior violations or claims — a DUI, suspension, or at-fault accident within the past 3–5 years increases full coverage costs by 40–150%, often requiring non-standard insurance markets
