The graphic below shows how average 2024 Chevrolet Colorado car insurance rates fluctuate based on the age of the driver and policy deductibles. The prices shown are for an annual policy, and range from the cheapest price of $1,450 per year for a 60-year-old driver with $1,000 deductibles to a high of $4,702 annually for a driver age 20 with deductibles of $250.

Two key concepts from this data are:

1. As you age, insurance for your Colorado gets more affordable
2. Lower policy deductibles are more expensive than higher deductibles

So what does this mean for you?

Well, you can’t do anything about how old you are. If you’re still in your teens or twenties, you’re going to have more expensive car insurance. That’s just how it goes due to the increased risk of insuring younger drivers.

But you can control your policy’s physical damage deductibles. Those are the coverages called “comprehensive” (sometimes referred to as other-than-collision), and “collision”. One covers you when you hit something (collision), the other covers you when your car is damaged by hail, flooding, fire, vandalism, etc. (comprehensive).

Your deductible is the amount of money you agree to pay if you have a claim before your insurance kicks in and pays the rest.

Here’s an example of how a deductible works.

You’re driving your Colorado down a mountain pass in… Colorado (of course), when a mountain goat decides to test the impact strength of your door. His horns impale your door and cause $1,300 damage. You have a $500 comprehensive deductible so you would pay that amount of the repair bill. Your insurance policy would pay the remaining $800.

By choosing a higher deductible, you would have to pay more of the claim, but in return, your car insurance would be cheaper each year. If you do not anticipate frequent claims, then a higher deductible may save you money in the long run.
