Tips to reduce the cost of insuring a Nissan Z

Insurance rates on a Nissan Z are high in relation to the average car, but are not bad when compared to higher-performance models. There are some things you can do to ensure the cost stays as low as possible, however. The list below has some of the best ways to keep prices down when insuring a Nissan Z.

  • The higher deductible you choose, the lower the policy cost. Raising your policy deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $454 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $860 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
