Model Year and Vehicle | Annual Rate | 6-month Rate | Monthly Rate |
---|---|---|---|

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.

- Qualify for policy discounts to save money. Discounts may be available if the policyholders take a defensive driving course, work in certain occupations, are military or federal employees, belong to certain professional organizations, or many other policy discounts which could save the average driver as much as $260 per year on Ford Transit insurance.
- 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.
