The graphic below demonstrates average Hyundai Tucson car insurance rates using different policy scenarios. More mature drivers tend to have cheaper rates, whereas drivers with more risk or a tendency to have accidents and claims will pay higher rates.

The infographic demonstrates that if you want the best rates possible when insuring your Hyundai Tucson, ideally you are a safe driver, have good credit, and keep your policy deductible on the higher side.

You can’t control your age, obviously, but as you get older car insurance rates tend to drop. And as you become more financially stable and buy a house or insure multiple vehicles, these events can trigger discounts that can save more money.

Here are some other observations that may be helpful when trying to lower the cost of your car insurance:

• Young males pay a lot more for insurance. For a 2024 Hyundai Tucson, a 20-year-old male driver pays an estimated $4,362 per year, while a 20-year-old woman will get a rate of $3,132, a difference of $1,230 per year. Women get significantly cheaper rates. But by age 50, male driver rates are $1,928 and female driver rates are $1,882, a difference of only $46.
• Improve your credit rating to save on insurance. In states that allow a driver’s credit rating to be used as a rate factor, drivers with high 800+ credit scores may see savings of $342 per year over a lower credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a less-than-perfect credit score could cost as much as $396 more per year.
• Find cheap Tucson car insurance rates by qualifying for policy discounts. Discounts may be available if the insured drivers work in certain occupations, sign their policy early, are military or federal employees, are claim-free, are homeowners, or many other policy discounts which could save the average driver as much as $366 per year on their insurance cost.
• Lower the cost of your policy by increasing deductibles. Jacking up your deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $354 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $688 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Low physical damage deductibles increase costs. Decreasing your policy deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $368 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $728 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Obey driving laws to save money. To pay the cheapest price for Tucson insurance rates, it’s necessary to drive safely. Not surprisingly, just a couple of minor lapses of judgment on your driving record could possibly raise the price of a policy as much as $574 per year. Serious citations like DUI and hit-and-run could raise rates by an additional $2,004 or more.

Insuring a vehicle that is old enough to justify dropping full coverage completely could save an additional $608 annually, depending on what the comprehensive and collision deductibles were set to and the age of the driver.
