  • Low deductibles make insurance more expensive. Decreasing your policy deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $374 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $738 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
  • Car insurance for teenagers is expensive. Average rates for full coverage Tahoe insurance costs $7,750 per year for a 16-year-old driver, $7,520 per year for a 17-year-old driver, and $6,767 per year for an 18-year-old driver.
  • No accidents mean cheaper rates. Having multiple accidents could cost you more, possibly by an extra $3,110 per year for a 20-year-old driver and as much as $520 per year for a 60-year-old driver.
  • As you age, Chevrolet Tahoe car insurance rates get cheaper. The difference in insurance cost for a Chevrolet Tahoe between a 60-year-old driver ($1,822 per year) and a 30-year-old driver ($2,348 per year) is $526, or a savings of 25.2%.
  • Avoid traffic tickets to pay less. If you want to receive the cheapest Chevy Tahoe insurance cost, it pays not to be aggressive behind the wheel. As a matter of fact, just one or two blemishes on your motor vehicle report have the ramification of increasing insurance rates by up to $578 per year. Serious violations like reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident, DUI, or driving on a revoked license could raise rates by an additional $2,024 or more.
