Which factors influence your insurance rates?

Insurance rates on a Buick Encore can vary widely depending on several factors. Taken into consideration are:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Credit rating
  • Where you live
  • The number of annual miles
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • Your vehicle's safety rating
  • Your profession
  • The level of coverage
  • Whether you rent or own your home

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your Buick is the year of manufacture. Older models have a reduced actual cash value so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as lane departure warning system, traction control, and autonomous braking which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

To get a better idea how rates are influenced for your specific model year, select the year of your vehicle from available model years below.

Liability coverage

This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase higher limits if possible.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your Buick resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your Encore 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 to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
