The data table below details average full coverage insurance policy costs for a range of Nissan Murano model years. Average policy cost ranges from a minimum of $1,230 for a 2014 Nissan Murano to a maximum value of $1,516 for a 2023 Murano.
| Model Year and Vehicle | Annual Rate | 6-month Rate | Monthly Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 Nissan Murano | $1,516 | $758 | $126 |
| 2022 Nissan Murano | $1,536 | $768 | $128 |
| 2021 Nissan Murano | $1,482 | $741 | $124 |
| 2020 Nissan Murano | $1,466 | $733 | $122 |

The rates in the table above are considered “full coverage”, which means the policies include both comprehensive and collision coverage as well as liability and medical payments coverage. Eventually, the value of any vehicle drops to a point where it may not make financial sense to keep full coverage.
As the vehicle value depreciates, the benefit of having full coverage is less each year. Eliminating full coverage on an older Nissan Murano could possibly save $638 per year, depending on the level of physical damage deductibles and the age of the rated driver.
