Below are some additional rate estimates along with some good tips on how to keep insurance costs as low as possible.

• Improve your credit rating to save on insurance. Having a high credit rating of over 800 could possibly save as much as $255 per year over a slightly lower credit score between 670-739. Conversely, a below average credit score could cost as much as $296 more per year.
• Driver age and gender matter. For a 2021 Mazda CX-3, a 20-year-old man receives an average rate of $3,250 per year, while a 20-year-old woman will get a rate of $2,344, a difference of $906 per year in the women’s favor by a large margin. But by age 50, the cost for male drivers is $1,450 and rates for female drivers are $1,408, a difference of only $42.
• High-risk drivers pay extremely high rates. For a 50-year-old driver, having too many driving record violations or accidents could end up with a rate increase of $1,906 or more per year on a CX-3.
• Fewer violations means cheaper rates. If you want the best price on CX-3 insurance, you have to be a safe driver and avoid traffic citations. Not surprisingly, just one or two speeding tickets can raise policy rates as much as $434 per year.
• Safer drivers pay lower rates. Getting hit with an at-fault accident claim will raise rates, possibly as much as $2,310 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even as much as $412 per year for a 60-year-old driver.
• Raising deductibles makes insurance more affordable. Raising the comprehensive and collision deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $232 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $444 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Lowering deductibles results in a more expensive policy. Decreasing deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $242 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $470 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
