Where can I find cheap Lexus car insurance?

Due to the fact that Lexus is a luxury nameplate, car insurance is going to inevitably be more expensive than a Honda or Chevy. However, many Lexus models actually rank very well for car insurance affordability.

Car insurance rates vary considerably based on location, driver age, and other factors, so we recommend starting with our interactive free car insurance quotes. By setting a few simple options, you can see companies that have some of the cheapest rates based on the criteria that you set.

We have four tips that we recommend our readers follow when comparing car insurance quotes.

Tip #1 (if you only follow one, this is it)

Comparing car insurance quotes is kind of like a scientific experiment.  You want to keep all variables as identical as possible in order to end up with a valid result.

In the case of comparison quotes, you want to make sure the coverage limits and deductibles are identical on each price quote you get.

This helps reduce variability between each company and allows you to have better apples-to-apples prices to compare.

Now not all companies allow you to enter identical values, but get as close as possible. For example, one company may offer $250 deductibles, but another uses $200. Those are close enough for the purpose of comparing car insurance rates.

Tip #2

This tip just makes it easier to compare rates to your current policy, if you have one. Every car insurance policy has a “declarations” page, which is simply the page that shows you how much of each coverage you have.

You might see values liability values like 25/50 or 100/300, or deductible values of $250, $500 or even $1,000. These are the values you want to enter when getting quotes with other companies in order to have a fair comparison to your current policy.

As mentioned in Tip #1, if you use different values on each quote, you can’t accurately determine which car insurance company is the cheapest.

Tip #3

Car insurance companies offer all kinds of optional add-on coverages like rental reimbursement, GAP coverage, towing, sound system coverage, and many more. If you have a current policy that has any optional coverages, try to get them on the comparison quotes.

If you don’t have a policy now, we recommend not adding any of those coverages just for comparison purposes. They can always be added on later if needed, but to simplify the process, keep them off for now.

Not all insurance companies offer identical add-on coverages, but they do offer the same base policy coverages. So for apples-to-apples comparisons, just do the basics.

Tip #4

If the thought of trying to find a lot of good companies to quote with sounds time consuming (if not impossible), we can help. Our free car insurance quotes page makes it easy to find great companies with great rates. Answer a few easy questions and you’ll get a list of companies tailored to your needs!
