It takes a little time, but the best way to find cheaper prices for auto insurance rates in El Paso is to start doing a yearly price comparison from insurance carriers in Texas.
- Try to comprehend how your policy works and the measures you can control to prevent high rates. Many rating criteria that cause rate increases such as getting speeding tickets and poor credit history can be remedied by making minor changes in your lifestyle. Later in this article we will cover more details to find cheap prices and find overlooked discounts.
- Compare rates from direct carriers, independent agents, and exclusive agents. Exclusive agents and direct companies can only provide price estimates from one company like Progressive or State Farm, while independent agents can quote prices from many different companies. View insurance agents
- Compare the quotes to the premium of your current policy and see if there is a cheaper rate in El Paso. If you can save money and change companies, ensure there is no coverage lapse between policies.
- Provide adequate notice to your current company of your intent to cancel your current auto insurance policy. Submit payment along with a signed and completed policy application for your new coverage. Once received, keep the new certificate verifying coverage above your visor, in the console, or in the glove compartment.
A tip to remember is to compare similar coverage information on each quote request and to quote with as many companies as possible. This provides a level playing field and a thorough price selection.
Unbelievable but true, over 70% of drivers have remained with the same insurance company for at least the last four years, and 38% of drivers have never compared quotes from other companies. With the average insurance premium being $2,679, El Paso drivers can save almost 70% each year just by shopping around, but most tend to underestimate the large savings they would see if they swap their current policy for a cheaper one.

Insurance just makes sense
Even though it can be expensive, insurance may not be optional for several reasons.
- The majority of states have mandatory insurance requirements which means it is punishable by state law to not carry a specific level of liability insurance in order to be legal. 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 bought your Lexus GS F with a loan, most lenders will require you to have physical damage coverage to ensure the loan is repaid in case of a total loss. If you default on your policy, the bank may insure your Lexus for a much higher rate and require you to fork over the higher premium.
- Insurance protects both your Lexus and your personal assets. Insurance will pay for all forms of medical expenses incurred in an accident. As part of your policy, liability insurance also pays for attorney fees and expenses if someone files suit against you as the result of an accident. If your vehicle suffers damage from an accident or hail, your insurance policy will pay to restore your vehicle to like-new condition.
The benefits of buying enough insurance definitely exceed the price paid, specifically if you ever have a liability claim. The average driver in America overpays more than $865 each year so smart consumers compare quotes each time the policy renews to make sure the price is not too high.
Car insurance policy coverages for a Lexus GS F
Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Comprehensive car insurance
This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, theft and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider dropping full coverage.
Coverage for medical expenses
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses for pain medications, doctor visits, nursing services and chiropractic care. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Lexus GS F.
Due to the fact that many Texas drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits (which is 30/60/25), it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Normally these limits are identical to your policy's liability coverage.
Collision coverage
Collision coverage pays for damage to your GS F from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for things like colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible on your GS F to get cheaper collision coverage.
Liability coverages
This coverage will cover damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 30/60/25 that means you have $30,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $60,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability insurance covers things such as structural damage, medical expenses and repair bills for other people's vehicles. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford. Texas requires drivers to carry at least 30/60/25 but drivers should carry more coverage.
The illustration below demonstrates why buying the state minimum limits may not provide adequate coverage.
