Will used Ford Transit van insurance cost less?

Insuring an older Ford Transit, in this case a 2014 vs. a 2022 model, could reduce the cost of insurance by $400 per year. New vehicles have a higher replacement value, and older models are still great vehicles but are just worth less so they have cheaper insurance rates.

The table below shows estimated annual, 6-month, and monthly Ford Transit insurance rates for the 2014 to 2022 model years.

Dropping comprehensive and collision coverage on an older Ford Transit may save you $680 per year, depending on the coverage deductibles and the age of the rated driver.

Eventually, as the vehicle gets older it will make sense to delete one or both physical damage coverages from the policy. As vehicles age and their value decreases from depreciation, the costs required to maintain physical damage insurance starts to exceed the benefit of having it on the policy.

• Expect to pay a lot for high risk insurance. For a 20-year-old driver, having enough accidents and violations to require a high-risk insurance policy could raise rates by $2,366 or more per year.
• The higher deductible you choose, the lower the policy cost. Increasing your policy deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $232 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $450 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Decreasing deductibles will cost more. Lowering your policy deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $240 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $476 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Raise your credit score for cheaper insurance rates. In states that allow an insured’s credit rating to be used as a policy rate factor, having a good credit rating over 800 could see savings as high as $240 per year compared to a lower credit score of 670-739. Conversely, a less-than-perfect credit score could cost around $278 more per year.
• Get a discount from your occupation. The large majority of auto insurance providers offer policy discounts for specific occupations like architects, nurses, emergency medical technicians, doctors, engineers, and other occupations. By qualifying for this discount, you may save between $46 and $158 on your annual Transit insurance bill, depending on the policy coverages.
