The infographic below details how average 2024 Pilot car insurance rates vary with differences in driver age and a range of policy deductibles. The prices shown are for an annual policy, and vary from the cheapest rate of $1,626 per year for a 60-year-old driver with deductibles of $1,000 to the highest cost estimate of $5,542 annually for a driver age 20 with deductibles of $250.
The data in this infographic hits on two important car insurance concepts.
First, as you age, insurance rates drop (all other things kept constant). Younger drivers are more prone to accidents that result in claims, so they pay higher car insurance rates.
As you age and become a more experienced (and usually cautious) driver, insurers reward this behavior by lowering the rate you pay.
This downward trend will continue until around age 65, at which point rates will start trending upwards again.
The second important concept covered by the data is the impact on your choice of deductible on rates.
A deductible is the amount of money you are willing to pay before your insurer covers the remainder of a claim. So for example, if you back into a light pole and cause $1,300 damage to your bumper and have a $500 deductible, you will be responsible for the first $500 of the damage repair bill while your insurance company will pay the remaining $800.
By choosing a higher deductible, you are choosing to accept more of the out-of-pocket expense associated with an insurance claim. Since your insurance company is on the hook for a lower amount, you pay a lower premium for coverage.

After the vehicle depreciates considerably, you should make the decision to delete coverage for physical damage claims from an insurance policy. As vehicles age and their value decreases from depreciation, the costs required to maintain physical damage coverage surpass any added benefit.
