Table data represents married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Texas minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-policy, homeowner, safe-driver, multi-vehicle, and claim-free. Price information does not factor in garaging location in Austin which can modify prices significantly.
We can estimate from the data above that using a $250 deductible costs approximately $56 more each month or $672 a year than buying the higher $1,000 deductible. Because you would be required to pay $750 more if you file a claim with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you normally go at least 13 months between claim filings, you would more than likely save some money if you choose a higher deductible.
How to determine when to raise deductibles
| Average monthly premium for $250 deductibles: | $190 |
| Average monthly premium for $1,000 deductibles (subtract): | – $134 |
| Monthly savings from raising deductible: | $56 |
| Difference between deductibles ($1,000 – $250): | $750 |
| Divide difference by monthly savings: | $750 / $56 |
| Number of months required between physical damage coverage claims in order to save money by choosing the higher deductible | 13 months |
One thing to note is that increasing deductibles to save money means you will have to cover more of the damage yourself when you have a claim. You need some extra savings in the event you need to pay more to get your vehicle repaired.

How much insurance do I need?

- When would I need rental car insurance?
- Do I have newly-aquired coverage?
- Does liability extend to a camper or trailer?
- What does PIP insurance cover?
- Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
- Why are teen drivers so expensive to add on to my policy?
- How high should my uninsured/underinsured coverage be in Texas?
- Who is covered by my policy?

Compare rates from both independent and exclusive auto insurance agents
When researching a local insurance agency, you need to know there are two types of insurance agents and how they work. Car insurance agencies can be described as either exclusive or independent.
Independent Car Insurance Agencies or Brokers
Agents that elect to be independent are not required to write business for one company so they can insure your vehicles with multiple insurance companies and find you cheaper rates. If they quote lower rates, they simply switch companies in-house without you having to go to a different agency. If you are comparing rate quotes, we recommend you compare quotes from several independent agencies to have the best price comparison.
Below are Austin independent insurance agencies that may be able to provide competitive price quotes.

- Are they full-time agents?
- Do you need full coverage on every vehicle?
- Will one accident increase rates?
- How would your car be valued if totalled?
