Auto Insurance Rates for a Chevy Silverado 2500HD in Chicago

Are you irritated from sacrificing other expenses to insure your Chevy every month? You have the same problem as most other consumers in Illinois.

Statistics show that a large majority of consumers renewed their policy with the same company for at least the last four years, and nearly half have never compared rates to find lower-cost insurance. Chicago insurance shoppers could save themselves about 40% a year just by comparing rates, but most just don't grasp the actual amount they would save if they bought a different policy.

There are many car insurance companies to choose from, and although it's a good thing to have a selection, too many choices makes it more difficult to compare rates for Chevy Silverado 2500HD insurance in Chicago.

But Illinois car owners can benefit by having an understanding of the way insurance companies market insurance on the web and use this information to your advantage.

Auto insurance deductibles

One of the hardest decisions when shopping for auto insurance is where should you set your physical damage deductibles. The premium rates below approximate the premium difference when you choose different insurance deductibles. The first rate comparisons uses a $100 comprehensive and collision deductible and the second price grid uses a $500 deductible.

Above prices assume married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Illinois minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include claim-free, multi-vehicle, safe-driver, multi-policy, and homeowner. Price information does not factor in your specific Chicago location which can affect prices considerably.

We can estimate from the data above that using a $100 deductible will cost in the ballpark of $23 more each month or $276 each year than quoting the higher $500 deductible. Because you would pay $400 more if you turn in a claim with a $500 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you go at a minimum 17 months between claims, you would most likely save money by going with a higher deductible.
