How Much is Dallas Auto Insurance for a Toyota 4Runner?

Buying cheap coverage for a Toyota 4Runner in Texas relies on a large number of factors such as how old the vehicle is, your credit status, and physical damage deductibles. Texas drivers pay on average $977 a year to insure their 4Runner, but that is a projection based on a 50-year-old married female driver with both comprehensive and collision coverage and $250 deductibles.

More likely than not, you aren’t exactly 50 years old or even a female, single instead of married, or maybe you have a speeding ticket that needs to be factored in. Having what appears to be a very minor change in rating factors or requested coverage amount can make a big difference in how much insurance for a Toyota 4Runner costs.

Each driver’s needs are different, and that demonstrates why the best method for finding cheap auto insurance rates for your Toyota is to compare as many rates as possible. Price quotes are quick and you will be able to compare rates from the cheapest companies available.

The chart above illustrates that a 50-year-old driver could save $434 a year by changing from a $100 deductible to a $500 deductible, or save $656 by choosing a $1,000 deductible. Younger drivers, such as the 20-year-old chart data, could roll back prices as much as $1,100 or even more just by using higher deductibles.

When insureds make the decision to increase the deductibles on their policy, it will be important to have enough savings to enable you to cover the extra out-of-pocket expense associated with higher deductibles.
