Protect more than your Cadillac CTS-V

Even though it can be expensive, insuring your vehicle serves an important purpose.

• Just about all states have minimum mandated liability insurance limits which means you are required to buy a specific level of liability insurance coverage if you want to drive legally. In Texas these limits are 30/60/25 which means you must have $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $60,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you have a loan on your CTS-V, it's most likely the lender will require that you buy insurance to ensure the loan is repaid in case of a total loss. If you do not keep the policy in force, the bank may buy a policy for your Cadillac at a more expensive rate and require you to pay for it.
• Insurance safeguards not only your car but also your assets. Insurance will pay for all forms of medical expenses for you, your passengers, and anyone else injured in an accident. Liability coverage will also pay attorney fees if anyone sues you for causing an accident. If mother nature or an accident damages your car, your auto insurance policy will pay to repair the damage minus the deductible amount.

The benefits of buying enough insurance definitely exceed the cost, particularly for liability claims. As of last year, the average driver in Texas is currently overpaying as much as $855 a year so shop around at every renewal to ensure rates are inline.

The diagram below shows the comparison of Cadillac CTS-V insurance prices with full coverage compared to only the Texas minimum liability coverage. The price estimates are based on no claims, a clean driving record, $1,000 deductibles, single marital status, and no additional discounts are factored in.

Deciding between full coverage and liability only

There isn't a steadfast formula to exclude full coverage, but there is a general convention. If the annual cost of having full coverage is more than about 10% of the replacement cost minus the deductible, then it might be time to buy liability only.

For example, let's say your Cadillac CTS-V book value is $6,000 and you have $1,000 full coverage deductibles. If your vehicle is severely damaged, the most you would receive is $5,000 after the deductible is paid. If it's costing you more than $500 a year for your policy with full coverage, then you might want to think about dropping full coverage.

There are a few cases where dropping physical damage coverage is not a good idea. If you haven't paid off your loan, you have to maintain full coverage in order to prevent the bank from purchasing higher-priced coverage. Also, if you can't afford to buy a different vehicle in the event your current vehicle is totaled, you should keep full coverage in place.

Discounts for cheaper car insurance quotes

Some companies don't always list every discount they offer in a way that's easy to find, so here is a list both the well known as well as the least known discounts that you may qualify for.

• El Paso Homeowners Pay Less - Being a homeowner can save a few bucks since owning and maintaining a home is proof that your finances are in order.
• Defensive Driver Discount - Participating in a course teaching defensive driver skills is a good idea and can lower rates and easily recoup the cost of the course.

• No Claim Discounts - Good drivers with no accidents pay less as opposed to drivers who are more careless.
• Pay Upfront and Save - By paying your policy upfront rather than paying in monthly installments you may reduce your total bill.
• Lower Rates for Military - Having an actively deployed family member could be rewarded with lower rates.
• Drive Safe and Save - Insureds without accidents can save as much as half off their rates than less cautious drivers.
• Policy Bundle Discount - If you can combine your homeowners and auto policy and insure them with the same company they may give you a discount of approximately 10% to 15%.
• Accident Forgiveness Coverage - Not a discount per se, but a handful of insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before your rates go up if you are claim-free prior to the accident.

Discounts reduce rates, but you should keep in mind that most of the big mark downs will not be given to the overall cost of the policy. Most cut specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments.
