Car Insurance Quotes for the Toyota Tacoma

All states require drivers to buy car insurance. Tacoma owners pay an average annual minimum coverage premium of $486 and an average annual full coverage premium of $1,539.

This is slightly lower than the national average, which comes in at $565 for the state-required minimum liability and $1,771 for full coverage.

Your state may require more than just bodily injury and property damage liability. Some states make uninsured motorist coverage and personal injury protection (PIP) mandatory.

Some drivers choose to purchase full coverage simply for the added security of comprehensive and collision. If you are financing or leasing, however, you will most likely be required to carry this type pf policy, as well.

In many cases, the cheapest auto insurance is the state minimum, but your rates will depend on factors such as your driving history, your age and where you live.

This may or may not be the best insurance for you. Freeway agents are skilled at helping you figure out your most optimal choices.

Freeway offers help finding the right type of policy for your truck. We do the research for you and offer you several options to choose from, including state minimum liability, full coverage and more.

Full Coverage

Full coverage is an optional policy that includes comprehensive and collision, all first-party benefits that protect you financially in crashes and damages due to things outside of your control, such as theft, vandalism, and falling objects, regardless of who is at fault.

Full coverage costs more than a liability-only policy by several hundred dollars a year.

Note: full coverage does not include optional coverages, such as rental car reimbursement, loan/lease payoff coverage, roadside assistance, and medical payments coverage.

State Minimum Liability

Drivers must carry a minimum state liability policy, which offers third-party benefits for bodily injury and property damage.

Every state has its own distinct liability requirements. For example, all Louisiana drivers must carry $15,000 for bodily injury (per person), $30,000 for bodily injury (per accident), and $25,000 for property damage.

No-fault states, such as Minnesota, mandate drivers to carry liability in the amounts of 30/60/10, plus 25/50 in uninsured, 25/50 in underinsured and 40 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP).

We recommend full coverage over a state minimum liability policy whenever possible. Although it costs several hundred dollars more per year, you gain additional benefits such as collision and comprehensive insurance.

DUI convictions have a detrimental effect on premiums.

If you have been convicted of a DUI, expect your rates to skyrocket. Rates can remain elevated for up to 10 years, depending on the insurer and state’s look-back window. With second or subsequent offenses, some insurers may cancel your policy outright.

In addition, many states will require you to file an SR-22 form, a proof of financial responsibility that lets the state know you carry the minimum coverage needed. Expect to file after your driver’s license suspension ends. Any lapse in your policy will require the insurer to notify your state’s DMV, which may result in another suspension, higher rates, and/or outright cancellation of your policy.

We recommend shopping around and comparing quotes from a minimum of three carriers to see if you qualify for lower premiums. Don’t worry, not all hope is lost if you have been convicted of a DUI — it just takes a little more legwork to find DUI car insurance.
