The preceding insurance cost chart shows a fairly small set of insurance rate estimates for a Hyundai Tucson.

Additional observations include:
- Young males pay a lot more for insurance. For a 2023 Hyundai Tucson, a 20-year-old male driver pays an estimated $3,284 per year, while a 20-year-old woman will get a rate of $2,446, a difference of $838 per year. Women get significantly cheaper rates. But by age 50, male driver rates are $1,512 and female driver rates are $1,480, a difference of only $32.
- 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 $260 per year over a lower credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a less-than-perfect credit score could cost as much as $301 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 $280 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 $244 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $472 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 $256 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $496 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 $438 per year. Serious citations like DUI and hit-and-run could raise rates by an additional $1,514 or more.
