How Much is Liability Insurance?

How much does liability insurance cost? Typically, liability insurance policy costs for Phoenix drivers depends on the chosen policy, and on a few other variables. Some of these determining factors include your driving record, where you live, your vehicle type, and your age, to name a few.

If you’re looking for an average numeric estimate, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners has most recently calculated the national average cost of liability insurance per driver to be $538.73, annually. Below you’ll find the guide from our Land Rover North Scottsdale finance experts on what influences liability insurance rates.

What is Liability Insurance?

Liability insurance covers the costs associated with the other driver in an accident in which you are found at fault. These associated costs fall into two categories and thus, determine how Scottsdale drivers can structure a policy. The two categories are:

• Bodily Injury Liability – This element, as the name implies, covers medical bills, pain and suffering, etc. experienced by the other driver as a result of the accident.
• Property Damage Liability – This insurance covers the damage to the other party’s property (like their vehicle) and the loss of use of that property. The physical damage done and inconveniences caused will be covered.

What Determines Liability Insurance Rates?

As mentioned, these two categories influence how a liability insurance policy is structured. You’ll see the policy named in a three number format like 100/300/50. Those numbers indicate the maximum amount the insurance policy will cover for personal injury, total injury, and property damage. So, for example:

• $100,000 in bodily injury coverage
• $300,000 in total bodily injury coverage (includes passengers, etc.)
• $50,000 property damage coverage

It is important to note that these maximums are flexible based on the aforementioned factors and what you are looking for from your policy. Minimums are set by the state. Your Phoenix insurance agent will help you choose the best liability insurance coverage for you and that will determine your exact monthly rates.
