Data based on married male driver age 40, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $1,000 deductibles, and Texas minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, homeowner, multi-vehicle, multi-policy, and claim-free. Prices do not factor in specific zip code location which can revise prices significantly.

Comparison of policy deductibles

One of the most common auto insurance questions is how low should you set your deductibles. The figures shown below may help to conceptualize the difference in cost when you choose different physical damage deductibles. The first data table uses a $250 physical damage coverage deductible and the second data table uses a $1,000 deductible.

Table data represents married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Texas minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include homeowner, safe-driver, claim-free, multi-vehicle, and multi-policy. Price estimates do not factor in Austin location which can lower or raise price quotes considerably.

Based on the data above, we can derive that using a $250 deductible costs roughly $26 more each month or $312 every year than choosing the higher $1,000 deductible. Because you would pay $750 more out-of-pocket with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you tend to go at a minimum 29 months between claims, you would save more money by going with a higher deductible.
