Who Has Affordable Auto Insurance Rates for a Honda CR-V in Madison?

Buying economical car insurance for a Honda CR-V in Wisconsin hinges on a whole bunch of rating criteria such as annual miles driven, your residence address, and if you have a history of accidents. Wisconsin drivers will pay on average $587 per year for CR-V insurance, but that price is an estimation calculated based on a 50-year-old single female driver with both comprehensive and collision coverage and $250 deductibles.

There’s a high likelihood you are not 50 and maybe not even a female, you might be married instead of single, or maybe you don’t qualify for the same discounts. Just a very minor change in rating criteria can make a large difference in policy price.

Each driver’s needs are different, and that demonstrates why the only real way to find cheap insurance prices for your Honda is to do a thorough rate comparison.

Should you buy full coverage?

Saving money on car insurance is the goal of most drivers, and an easy way to pay less for insurance for a Honda CR-V is to buy only liability coverage. The example below shows the comparison of insurance costs with full physical damage coverage compared to only buying the minimum liability limits required in Wisconsin. The information is based on no claims or driving citations, $1,000 deductibles, single status, and no discounts are applied.

As an average, comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy costs $974 per year more than just insuring for liability. That brings up the question if buying full coverage is worth the expense. There is no set guideline to eliminate comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy, but there is a general convention. If the yearly cost of comp and collision coverage is more than around 10% of the replacement cost of your vehicle minus the policy deductible, then it could be time to drop full coverage.
