Additional observations and data insights

Some other rates and scenarios are listed below that may help you avoid paying too much on auto insurance.

  • More mature drivers get better rates than young drivers. The difference in insurance rates for a 2023 Atlas between a 40-year-old driver ($1,546 per year) and a 20-year-old driver ($3,062 per year) is $1,516, or a savings of 65.8%.
  • Lower policy costs by raising deductibles. Raising deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $258 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $500 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
  • Low deductibles make insurance more expensive. Decreasing deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $266 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $532 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
  • Expect to pay a lot for high-risk insurance. For a 20-year-old driver, being required to buy a high-risk insurance policy could increase the cost by $2,372 or more per year.
  • Obey driving laws to keep policy costs low. To get the cheapest VW Atlas insurance rates, it pays to avoid traffic citations. Not surprisingly, just a couple of traffic violations can raise insurance policy costs by up to $396 per year. Serious violations such as hit-and-run could raise rates by an additional $1,406 or more.
  • Get better rates due to your employment. The large majority of car insurance providers offer discounts for working in professions like engineers, members of the military, college professors, police officers and law enforcement, accountants, nurses, and other occupations. If you work in a qualifying profession, you may save between $46 and $183 on your annual car insurance cost, subject to policy limits.
