Additional Rates and Insights
A few additional rates and tips on how to avoid expensive insurance are as follows.
- Be a careful driver and pay less for insurance. Causing too many accidents will raise rates, to the tune of $724 per year for a 30-year-old driver and even as much as $474 per year for a 60-year-old driver.
- Earn discounts to save money. Discounts may be available if you are accident-free, insure multiple vehicles on the same policy, are a loyal customer, insure your home and car with the same company, or many other discounts which could save you as much as $264 per year on the cost of insuring a Tiguan.
- Driving violations increase insurance rates. To get the lowest Tiguan insurance rates, it pays to be an excellent driver. Not surprisingly, just a couple of minor infractions on your motor vehicle report can raise Tiguan insurance rates by as much as $410 per year. Being convicted of a serious infraction such as a DWI could raise rates by an additional $1,438 or more.
- Raise your credit for better rates. In states that allow a policyholder’s credit rating to be used as a factor in determining car insurance rates, having a high credit rating of over 800 can possibly save as much as $247 per year versus a slightly lower credit rating between 670-739. Conversely, a less-than-perfect credit history could cost up to $286 more per year.
- High-risk drivers pay extremely high rates. For a 20-year-old driver, the requirement to buy a high-risk policy could increase the cost by $2,414 or more per year.
