Cheap Insurance for a Nissan Sentra in Connecticut

Whether or not you can find the best cheap auto insurance for a Nissan Sentra in Connecticut depends on lots of different factors like the number of years you have been driving, the likelihood of your vehicle being stolen, and your policy deductibles. Drivers in Connecticut on average pay around $1,340 each year to buy Nissan Sentra insurance, but that cost is a projection that rates a 40-year-old single male who needs both comprehensive and collision coverage and $100 deductibles.

There’s a high likelihood you’re not a 40-year-old male, married instead of single, or maybe your driving record isn’t squeaky clean. Not everyone needs the same coverages, so the way we recommend to find the cheapest insurance price for your Nissan is to comparison shop your policy at every renewal or at least every couple of years.

If the expense is averaged for all age categories, comp and collision coverage costs an additional $2,700 per year more than carrying just liability coverage. A very common question is if physical damage coverage is worth the money. There is no definitive rule to exclude full coverage on your policy, but there is a general convention. If the yearly cost of comp and collision coverage is more than around 10% of replacement cost minus your deductible, then you may need to consider dropping full coverage.

For example, let’s say your vehicle’s book value is $8,500 and you have $1,000 deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled, the most your company would pay you is $7,500 after paying your deductible. If you are paying in excess of $750 a year for full coverage, then you may want to consider only buying liability coverage.
