Cadillac Escalade detailed coverage information

The table below highlights different rate quotes for Cadillac Escalade models. Being more informed about how rates are calculated can help drivers make decisions when shopping your coverage around.

Table data represents single male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $100 deductibles, and Texas minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, homeowner, multi-vehicle, safe-driver, and claim-free. Rate quotes do not factor in vehicle garaging location which can change premiums significantly.

Policy deductibles

When comparing auto insurance rates, the most common question is where should you set your physical damage deductibles. The comparison tables below outline the difference in cost when you buy lower versus higher comp and collision deductibles. The first rate comparisons uses a $250 comprehensive and collision deductible and the second rate table uses a $1,000 deductible.

Cost estimates assume married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Texas minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include claim-free, homeowner, multi-policy, safe-driver, and multi-vehicle. Premium amounts do not factor in specific location which can increase or decrease premiums substantially.

We can estimate from the data above that using a $250 deductible costs about $40 more each month or $480 each year averaged for all Escalade models than selecting the higher $1,000 deductible. Since you would have to pay $750 more to settle a claim with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you tend to go at a minimum 19 months between claims, you would more than likely save some money if you opt for a higher deductible. The numbers below show an example of how you can perform this determination yourself.

The information below demonstrates how choosing different deductibles and can change Cadillac Escalade insurance costs for different categories of driver ages. The data assumes a married male driver, full physical damage coverage, and no other discounts are factored in.

If you check and find you aren’t receiving every discount you qualify for, you may be paying too high a price.

• Discounts for Cautious Drivers – Accident-free drivers can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates than drivers with accidents.

Insurance in Texas serves several purposes

Despite the high cost, maintaining insurance is required for several reasons.

First, almost all states have minimum mandated liability insurance limits which means you are required to buy specific minimum amounts of liability protection in order to drive the car. In Texas these limits are 30/60/25 which means you must have $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $60,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.

Second, if your vehicle has a lienholder, almost all lenders will have a requirement that you have insurance to guarantee loan repayment. If you let the policy lapse, the lender may have to buy a policy to insure your Cadillac for a lot more money and force you to reimburse them the higher price.

Third, insurance protects both your Cadillac and your assets. It will also cover all forms of medical expenses for not only you but also any passengers injured in an accident. Liability insurance, one of your policy coverages, also covers legal expenses if you are named as a defendant in an auto accident. If damage is caused by hail or an accident, comprehensive and collision coverage will pay to repair the damage minus the deductible amount.

The benefits of insuring your Escalade more than cancel out the cost, specifically if you ever have a liability claim. As of last year, the average driver in Texas is wasting up to $869 every year so it’s very important to do a rate comparison every year to help ensure money is not being wasted.

Your insurance coverage should be tailored to you

When quoting and comparing proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

For instance, these questions can help discover if your situation will benefit from professional help.

• Should I file a claim if it’s only slightly more than my deductible?
• How can I get my company to pay me more for my totaled car?
• What can I do if my company denied a claim?
• Is my custom stereo system covered?
• Will damage be repaired with OEM parts?
• Do I have coverage if I rent a car in Mexico?
• Do all my vehicles need collision coverage?
• Do I benefit by insuring my home with the same company?
• Does liability extend to a camper or trailer?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form. It is quick, free and you can get the answers you need.

Exclusive and independent El Paso auto insurance agents

When narrowing the list to find a reputable agency, you need to know there are two different types of agencies and how they can service your needs differently. Insurance agencies in El Paso are categorized either independent agents or exclusive agents depending on their employer. Either can sell car insurance policies, but it’s a good idea to understand how they are different because it can factor into the type of agent you choose.

Exclusive Insurance Agents

Exclusive agencies can only provide pricing for a single company like AAA, Allstate, State Farm, or Farmers Insurance. These agents are unable to compare rates from other companies so keep that in mind. Exclusive agencies receive extensive training on the products they sell which aids in selling service over price.
