The previous insurance cost chart plots just a handful of insurance cost data points from an extremely large data set.

Ultimately, as the mileage creeps up, it will probably be a good idea to eliminate physical damage coverage (comprehensive and collision) from a policy. As a vehicle depreciates, the cost of maintaining physical damage coverage begins to exceed any benefits of having full coverage.
Removing comprehensive and collision coverage on an older Traverse could save around $606 annually, depending on the level of physical damage deductibles and the driver age.
The best time to drop full coverage is completely different for everyone. Eliminating the coverage means you have no recourse if your Traverse is totaled. So it’s a good idea to have some savings set aside to be able to afford a different vehicle just in case.
