It’s an obvious statement that car insurance companies don’t want you to look for a cheaper policy. People who get comparison quotes once a year are very likely to switch companies because of the high probability of finding discount prices. Surprisingly, a recent survey revealed that drivers who compared price quotes annually saved on average $70 a month compared to policyholders who didn’t regularly shop around.
If finding the most affordable insurance is the reason you’re here, then having a good understanding how to shop and compare cheaper coverage can help make the process easier.
To save the most money, the best way to get cheaper Infiniti FX50 insurance in Dallas is to start comparing prices regularly from insurers that sell auto insurance in Texas. You can compare prices by completing these steps.
- Try to understand car insurance and the changes you can make to prevent expensive coverage. Many risk factors that cause high rates such as speeding and a less-than-favorable credit rating can be controlled by making small lifestyle or driving habit changes. This article gives ideas to find cheap rates and find missing discounts.
- Obtain price quotes from independent agents, exclusive agents, and direct companies. Exclusive and direct companies can provide rates from one company like Progressive or Farmers Insurance, while agents who are independent can give you price quotes for many different companies.
- Compare the new rates to the premium of your current policy to see if a cheaper price is available in Dallas. If you find a lower rate and switch companies, make sure there is no coverage gap between policies.
An important note is that you’ll want to compare the same physical damage deductibles and liability limits on every quote request and and to compare as many companies as you can. Doing this helps ensure the most accurate price comparison and the best price selection.

Prices based on married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Texas minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, claim-free, multi-vehicle, homeowner, and multi-policy. Premium amounts do not factor in zip code location which can influence coverage prices substantially.
Using the premium rates above, we can conclude that using a $100 deductible will cost you roughly $38 more each month or $456 each year than choosing the higher $500 deductible. Because you would be required to pay $400 more out of your own pocket with a $500 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you tend to average at a minimum 11 months between claims, you would probably save some money if you choose the higher deductible.
The example below shows how choosing a deductible and can increase or decrease Infiniti FX50 insurance costs for different age groups. The data assumes a single male driver, comp and collision included, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

Cost of full coverage in Dallas
The diagram below compares Infiniti FX50 insurance costs with and without physical damage coverage, medical payments, and uninsured/under-insured motorist coverage. Data assumes no accidents or driving violations, $250 deductibles, single marital status, and no policy discounts are applied.
When to drop full coverage
There isn’t a steadfast formula to stop buying physical damage coverage on your policy, but there is a general school of thought. If the yearly cost of comp and collision coverage is more than around 10% of replacement cost minus your deductible, then you might want to think about dropping full coverage.
For example, let’s pretend your Infiniti FX50 book value is $8,000 and you have $1,000 deductibles. If your vehicle is damaged in an accident, the most your company would pay you is $7,000 after paying your deductible. If you are paying over $700 annually for comprehensive and collision coverage, then it’s probably a good time to buy liability coverage only.
There are a few cases where removing full coverage is not recommended. If you still have a lienholder on your title, you are required to maintain full coverage in order to prevent your loan from defaulting. Also, if you don’t have enough money to buy a different vehicle in the even your car is totaled, you should maintain full coverage.
Car insurance coverages for an Infiniti FX50
Learning about specific coverages of auto insurance can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Auto insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are the usual coverages available from auto insurance companies.
Coverage for collisions
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers things such as scraping a guard rail, rolling your car and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible on your FX50 to get cheaper collision coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Infiniti FX50.
Due to the fact that many Texas drivers have only the minimum liability required by law (30/60/25), their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from flooding, vandalism and fire damage. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, rehabilitation expenses and pain medications. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
Liability car insurance
Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see policy limits of 30/60/25 that means you have $30,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $60,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability insurance covers claims like structural damage, attorney fees, emergency aid and court costs. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible. Texas state minimum liability requirements are 30/60/25 but drivers should carry more liability than the minimum.
The next chart demonstrates why minimum state limits may not provide you with enough coverage.
Affordable insurance is out there
Cheaper Infiniti FX50 insurance in Dallas is possible on the web as well as from insurance agents, and you should compare rates from both so you have a total pricing picture. There are still a few companies who don’t offer the ability to get quotes online and most of the time these regional carriers only sell through local independent agents.
