Rate information and statistics

The chart below shows how choosing a deductible and can affect Acura RDX insurance premiums for different ages of insureds. The prices are based on a married female driver, full coverage, and no discounts are applied.

Three reasons insurance is important

Despite the high cost, insurance may not be optional for several reasons.

• Almost all states have mandatory liability insurance requirements which means state laws require specific minimum amounts of liability in order to drive the car legally. 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.
• If you have a loan on your RDX, almost every bank will make it mandatory that you carry insurance to ensure they get paid if you total the vehicle. If you default on your policy, the lender will be forced to insure your Acura at an extremely high rate and require you to fork over for the much more expensive policy.
• Insurance preserves your vehicle and your assets. It will also reimburse you for most medical and hospital costs that are the result of an accident. Liability insurance, one of your policy coverages, will also pay attorney fees if you are sued as the result of an accident. If mother nature or an accident damages your car, comprehensive and collision coverage will cover the damage repairs after a deductible is paid.

The benefits of carrying enough insurance are without a doubt worth the cost, especially for larger claims. According to a 2015 survey, the average American driver is currently overpaying as much as $865 each year so smart consumers compare quotes at least once a year to ensure rates are competitive.

Get Cheap Insurance Costs by Understanding These Factors

Many different elements are part of the calculation when you get a price on insurance. Some of the criteria are obvious like an MVR report, although others are less apparent such as your credit history or how financially stable you are. An important part of buying insurance is that you know the factors that play a part in calculating your policy premiums. If you have some idea of what determines premiums, this enables informed choices that will entitle you to lower insurance prices.

• High credit equals lower costs – Having a bad credit score is a big factor in determining your rates. If your credit score leaves room for improvement, you could pay less to insure your Acura RDX by spending a little time repairing your credit. Drivers who have good credit tend to be better risks to insure than drivers with bad credit.

• Teenage driver insurance prices – Teenage drivers in Texas are statistically proven to be less responsible when at the wheel of a vehicle and because of this, their insurance rates are much higher. Older, more experienced drivers are more responsible, statistically cause fewer accidents, and get fewer tickets.

  The chart below is based on a single driver, full coverage with $250 deductibles, and no discounts or violations.

• Cautious drivers pay less – Having a clean driving record influences premium rates substantially. Just one driving citation can increase rates by as much as thirty percent. Good drivers have lower premiums compared to drivers with tickets. Drivers who get multiple tickets such as DUI or willful reckless driving may be required to submit a SR-22 or proof of financial responsibility with their state motor vehicle department in order to continue driving.

  The information below demonstrates how speeding tickets and at-fault accidents increase Acura RDX insurance costs for different age groups of insureds. The data assumes a single male driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, $250 deductibles, and no discounts are taken into consideration.

• Policy add-ons can waste money – Insurance companies have many add-on coverages that may not really be needed if you don’t pay attention. Coverages like vanishing deductibles, accident forgiveness, and motor club memberships are some examples. You may think they are a good idea when discussing your needs, but your needs may have changed so remove them and pocket the money.

• Do females or males drive better? – Statistics show women are more cautious behind the wheel. It does not mean males are worse at driving than females. They both have at-fault accidents at about the same rate, but the male of the species cause more damage. They also get more serious tickets such as reckless driving.

  The diagram below shows the difference between Acura RDX yearly insurance costs for male and female drivers. The prices are based on no tickets, no at-fault accidents, full coverage, $250 deductibles, drivers are single, and no discounts are applied.

• Physical damage deductibles – Physical damage protection, otherwise known as comp (or other than collision) and collision, covers damage that occurs to your Acura. Some examples of claims that would be covered could be a dented fender, vandalism, or theft. Comprehensive and collision coverage deductibles are how much you are willing to pay if you file a covered claim. The more expense the insured has to pay upfront, the less your insurance will be.

• Loss probability for an Acura RDX – Insurance companies use claims history to help calculate premium rates. Models that are shown to have high amounts or severity of claims will cost more for coverage. The table below demonstrates the collected loss data for Acura RDX vehicles.

  For each coverage category, the claim amount for all vehicles combined as an average is set at 100. Values that are below 100 indicate better than average losses, while numbers shown that are more than 100 point to more claims or tendency to have larger claims.
