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 $322 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $616 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
  • Teen drivers cost a lot to insure. Average rates for full coverage Z insurance costs $6,904 per year for a 16-year-old driver, $6,474 per year for a 17-year-old driver, $6,058 per year for an 18-year-old driver, and $5,500 per year for a 19-year-old driver.
  • Negligent drivers pay higher insurance rates. Too many at-fault accidents will increase rates, possibly by an additional $2,708 per year for a 20-year-old driver and even as much as $572 per year for a 60-year-old driver.
  • More mature drivers get better rates than young drivers. The difference in insurance cost on a Z between a 60-year-old driver ($1,760 per year) and a 30-year-old driver ($2,090 per year) is $330, or a savings of 17.1%.
