This may seem like a lot of different rates for insuring the same vehicle, but honestly, it’s just a drop in the bucket.

When you factor in variables like location, marital status, financial stability, customer longevity, and a slew of other variables, there can literally be millions of different rates for the exact same vehicle.

Plus, different policy coverages make it possible to create an even wider range of rates. A liability-only insurance policy for an Acadia in some parts of Wisconsin or Iowa may be as cheap as $234 a year, while a teenager with a couple of driving violations in some high-crime zip codes in Philadelphia, could receive a car insurance bill for $16,246 a year for a policy with full coverage.

Another factor that impacts rates is the age of your Acadia. Older vehicles generally cost less to insure due to having a lower replacement value. This translates into car insurance savings when driving an older model.

This table brings up a question: Would you actually insure a 2007 Acadia with full coverage?

Probably not.

And that brings up another question: When do you drop full coverage?

That is honestly a personal decision that only you can decide. It depends on your personal financial situation and whether or not you can afford to replace your Acadia if it gets totaled in an accident or weather event.

You might read guidelines like drop full coverage when the annual cost of coverage is more than 10% of the value of the vehicle. But that doesn’t take into consideration your personal situation.

Maybe you have an extra vehicle you can drive if you do lose your Acadia. If so, then that’s great. Save the money and drop full coverage.

But maybe that vehicle is intended to be used by your 15-year-old next year when they get their driver’s license. If that’s the case, then it changes the picture completely.

There is no cut and dried answer to this question, it has to just feel right to you.

Some closing points about Acadia insurance include:

  • Policy discounts save money. Discounts may be available if the policyholders insure their home and car with the same company, work in certain occupations, are military or federal employees, sign their policy early, or many other discounts which could save the average driver as much as $382 per year on the cost of insuring an Acadia.
  • Citations and violations increase insurance cost. If you want the most affordable Acadia insurance rates, it’s necessary to drive conservatively. In fact, just one or two blemishes on your motor vehicle report could result in a rate increase of up to $590 per year. Being convicted of a serious infraction such as DWI and leaving the scene of an accident could raise rates by an additional $2,060 or more.
  • A good credit rating can save money. In states that have car insurance regulations that allow an insured’s credit score to be used as a policy cost factor, drivers who have credit scores over 800 may see savings of $355 per year over a credit score between 670-739. Conversely, a weaker credit score could cost up to $412 more per year.
  • Older drivers tend to pay less than younger drivers. The difference in insurance cost for a GMC Acadia between a 60-year-old driver ($1,876 per year) and a 20-year-old driver ($4,492 per year) is $2,616, or a savings of 82.2%.
  • Increase deductibles to save money. Increasing deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $350 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $668 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
  • Choosing a low deductible may not make good financial sense. Dropping your deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $360 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $702 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
  • Insurance for teenage drivers is expensive. Average rates for full coverage Acadia insurance costs $7,968 per year for a 16-year-old driver, $7,698 per year for a 17-year-old driver, and $6,865 per year for an 18-year-old driver.
