• Earn a discount from your choice of occupation. Many car insurance companies offer policy discounts for earning a living in occupations like doctors, architects, nurses, high school and elementary teachers, college professors, members of the military, and other occupations. If your profession qualifies you for this discount, you may save between $49 and $159 on your yearly Silverado insurance cost, depending on your policy.
• Rated driver gender affects the rate you pay. For a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado, a 20-year-old man will have an average rate of $3,286 per year, while a 20-year-old female will get a rate of $2,424, a difference of $862 per year. Women get significantly cheaper rates. But by age 50, the rate for men is $1,494 and the female rate is $1,464, a difference of only $30.
• It’s expensive to buy high risk insurance. For a 50-year-old driver, having to buy high-risk car insurance for a Chevy Silverado due to accidents and/or violations could raise rates by $1,968 or more per year.
• Excellent credit scores get the best rates. In states that have regulations allowing a driver’s personal credit information to be used as an auto insurance rate factor, drivers who have credit scores over 800 could experience savings as high as $257 per year over a lower credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a credit rating below 579 could cost up to $298 more per year.
• Avoid driving violations to reduce rates. To pay the most affordable Silverado insurance rates, it’s necessary to drive safe. As few as two minor driving offenses could possibly increase Silverado insurance cost by as much as $440 per year.
• Older drivers pay less than younger drivers. The difference in insurance rates for a Silverado between a 50-year-old driver ($1,494 per year) and a 30-year-old driver ($1,722 per year) is $228, or a savings of 13.2%.
