Insurance is an important decision

Despite the high cost of buying insurance for a Acura TSX in El Paso, maintaining insurance is a good idea for several reasons.

• Just about all states have compulsory liability insurance requirements which means the state requires a specific level of liability insurance coverage if you don't want to risk a ticket. 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 took out a loan on your Acura TSX, more than likely the lender will make it a condition of the loan that you carry insurance to guarantee loan repayment. If you do not keep the policy in force, the bank may insure your Acura at a more expensive rate and require you to pay for the expensive policy.
• Insurance protects your car and your assets. Insurance will also pay for most medical and hospital costs for not only you but also any passengers injured in an accident. Liability coverage, the one required by state law, also pays expenses related to your legal defense if you are sued as the result of your driving. If mother nature or an accident damages your car, comprehensive and collision coverage will pay to have it repaired.

The benefits of having insurance are without a doubt worth the cost, especially when you need to use it. The average driver in Texas is overpaying more than $869 every year so it's very important to do a rate comparison at every policy renewal to save money.

Price comparison of only insuring for liability

The example below illustrates the comparison of Acura TSX auto insurance rates with full physical damage coverage compared to only buying the minimum liability limits required in Texas. The premiums are based on no violations or claims, $1,000 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are factored in.

When to stop paying for full coverage

There isn't a steadfast formula for excluding physical damage insurance, but there is a guideline you can use. If the yearly cost for physical damage coverage is more than about 10% of the replacement cost of your vehicle minus the policy deductible, then it might be time to consider dropping full coverage.

For example, let's pretend your Acura TSX replacement value is $7,000 and you have $1,000 full coverage deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled, the most you would receive is $6,000 after the policy deductible has been paid. If you are currently paying more than $600 a year for full coverage, then it might be time to buy liability only.

There are some scenarios where removing full coverage is not advised. If you still owe money on your vehicle, you have to carry full coverage as part of the loan requirements. Also, if your emergency fund is not enough to purchase a different vehicle if your current one is damaged, you should not opt for liability only.

Verify you're earning every discount

Companies don't always advertise all discounts very clearly, so the list below details some of the more common and the more hidden discounts that you may qualify for.

• Anti-lock Brake System - Cars with ABS and/or traction control have fewer accidents and the ABS can save up to 10%.
• Passive Restraints and Air Bags - Vehicles with factory air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can receive discounts of 20% or more.
• Senior Discount - If you qualify as a senior citizen, you may qualify for a discount up to 10%.
• Theft Deterrent - Cars and trucks that have factory anti-theft systems have a lower chance of being stolen so companies will give you a small discount.
• Low Mileage - Low annual miles can qualify you for substantially lower premium rates.
• Onboard Data Collection - Drivers who elect to allow driving data collection to analyze vehicle usage by using a telematics device in their vehicle such as Allstate's Drivewise and State Farm's In-Drive system could see a rate decrease if they have good driving habits.

Discounts save money, but please remember that many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like all those discounts means the company will pay you, that's just not realistic.

The diagram below illustrates the comparison of Acura TSX car insurance costs with and without discounts applied. The data assumes a male driver, a clean driving record, no claims, Texas state minimum liability limits, comp and collision included, and $500 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with multi-car, homeowner, multi-policy, claim-free, marriage, and safe-driver discounts applied.
