At some point with older models, vehicle owners will have to decide when to remove comprehensive and/or collision coverage from the insurance policy. As vehicles get older and lose value from depreciation, the extra cost of physical damage coverage is more than the benefits provided by having it. Removing full coverage on an older Ford Flex could potentially save $726 per year, depending on the policy deductibles and the age of the rated driver.
