Car Insurance Quotes for a Hyundai Tucson

The average annual premium for a Hyundai Tucson auto policy is $1,656 for full and $584 for liability-only coverage.

If you’re in the market for a new policy, consider liability-only or full coverage. One provides third-party-only benefits, while the other offers first and third-party benefits, ensuring adequate financial protection to cover many problematic road situations, such as vehicle-to-vehicle collisions and devastating injuries.

Let a friendly Freeway Insurance team member assist you with all your questions regarding an appropriate policy in line with your budget and coverage needs.

If you are a driver interested in auto coverage, two policies you might consider are liability-only and full coverage.

Both policies fulfill all legal requirements to drive in your state, providing basic or comprehensive protection that protects yourself, your passengers, your vehicle, your property, and other drivers.

Full Coverage

All Hyundai Tucson drivers should highly consider full coverage.

Full coverage combines liability, collision, and comprehensive, which offer three vital areas of protection when driving on the road. Liability covers the cost of injuries and property damages to other parties when you are at fault, preventing you from paying third-party expenses out of pocket (up to specified limits).

In turn, collision and comprehensive are more focused on first-party benefits, paying for repairing or replacing your vehicle after crash- and non-crash-related incidents like falling objects and hail. Consider it a much better option for protecting against unforeseen events.

State Minimum Liability

All Hyundai Tucson drivers must carry at least a liability-only policy as required by law.

Actual requirements vary, depending on the state you live in. For example, all Pennsylvania drivers must carry a 15/30/5 policy, or $15,000 in bodily injury per person, $30,000 in bodily injury per accident, and $5,000 in property damage. These limits may not be enough to cover all accident costs, so you may still be liable to pay out of pocket for some damages in potential lawsuits by third parties.

Choosing higher limits of at least 100/300/100 is better, along with collision and comprehensive, to pay for the cost of damages due to collisions and non-collision-related incidents.

To determine the cost of premiums for policyholders, providers have complex algorithms and underwriting techniques to ensure that they can offer competitive rates while meeting all potential claims.

Three major pricing factors are your coverage limits, vehicle usage, and garaging location.

Coverage Limits

Two popular policies are liability-only and full coverage. Full coverage includes comprehensive and collision, so you can expect to pay more for it. Additionally, the lower your deductible and the higher your limits, the more expensive your premiums are, thanks to reduced out-of-pocket costs after a claim.

Vehicle Usage

Regarding vehicle usage, how you use your vehicle has a tremendous impact on the premiums you pay. Driving fewer than 7,500 miles annually results in lower premiums, thanks to a lower likelihood of being involved in an accident.

Garaging Location

Lastly, your garage location matters. If your vehicle is parked in or garaged in an urban area with a higher theft and vandalism rate, expect to pay higher premiums than if it were parked in a rural area with a zero-crime rate. Do not forget about climate as well, with volatile areas seeing higher premiums.

If you are ever convicted of a DUI, expect your driving situation to change for a minimum of three years.

For starters, you will face increased premiums and even outright policy cancellation or denial thanks to your new status as a high-risk driver. As a result, you may be forced to turn to a provider specializing in high-risk drivers.

Actual premium increases depend on factors such as your driving record and number of offenses. To bring rates down, maintaining a clean driving record is the most important consideration. The longer you go without a claim, moving violation, or at-fault accident, the more likely your rates will steadily lower over time.

On top of increased premiums, expect to be required to file an SR-22 and have limited insurance options, which may mean you will no longer be eligible for specific discounts, e.g., good driver or multi-policy. Reduced discount eligibility will also affect your ability to secure an affordable policy in the future.

In short, we recommend that you never drink and drive. One sip can mean the difference between paying $110 and $340 in monthly premiums.
