The figures shown below approximate the difference in cost between high and low insurance deductibles. The first rate table uses a $100 comprehensive and collision deductible and the second pricing table uses a $1,000 deductible.
Model | Comp | Collision | Liability | Medical | UM/UIM | Annual Premium | Monthly Premium |

Premium data assumes married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and North Carolina minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, multi-vehicle, claim-free, homeowner, and multi-policy. Prices do not factor in garaging location in Greensboro which can lower or raise price quotes noticeably.
We can derive from the above data that using a $100 deductible will cost you about $27 more each month or $324 each year than choosing the higher $1,000 deductible. Since the policyholder would be required to pay $900 more out of your own pocket with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you tend to go at a minimum 33 months between claims, you would most likely save money if you elect the higher deductible.
Calculate savings of higher deductibles
Average monthly premium for $100 deductibles: | $84 |
Average monthly premium for $1,000 deductibles (subtract): | – $57 |
Monthly savings from raising deductible: | $27 |
Difference between deductibles ($1,000 – $100): | $900 |
Divide difference by monthly savings: | $900 / $27 |
Number of months required between physical damage coverage claims in order to save money by choosing the higher deductible | 33 months |
An important sidenote is that a higher deductible results in having to pay to pay more out-of-pocket when you do file a claim. That will require a higher level of savings in the event you have to pay more to get your vehicle repaired.
The chart below illustrates how choosing a deductible and can impact Nissan Versa premium costs for different age groups of insureds. The price estimates are based on a single female driver, comp and collision included, and no additional discounts are factored in.
Nissan Versa insurance rates by age and gender
The diagram below shows the comparison of Nissan Versa insurance costs for male and female drivers. The data assumes no claims or driving violations, comp and collision included, $500 deductibles, single status, and no policy discounts are applied.
Full coverage versus liability-only
The illustration below visualizes the comparison of Nissan Versa insurance costs with full physical damage coverage compared to only buying the minimum liability limits required in North Carolina. The costs are based on no violations or claims, $100 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are applied to the premium.
Guidelines for eliminating full coverage
There is no exact rule to eliminate physical damage insurance, but there is a general school of thought. If the annual cost of your full coverage insurance is more than about 10% of the settlement you would receive from your company, then it could be time to drop full coverage.
For example, let’s say your Nissan Versa replacement cost is $4,000 and you have $1,000 policy deductibles. If your vehicle is totaled in an accident, the most your company would pay you is $3,000 after paying your deductible. If you are paying in excess of $300 annually for physical damage coverage, then you might want to think about dropping full coverage.
There are some circumstances where dropping full coverage is not a good plan. If you still have a loan on your vehicle, you have to carry full coverage as part of the loan requirements. Also, if your savings is not enough to buy a different vehicle in case of an accident, you should not opt for liability only.
Discounts can help save money on Nissan Versa insurance in Greensboro
Companies that sell car insurance don’t always publicize all available discounts in an easy-to-find place, so the following is a list of a few of the more common and the more hidden credits available to you. If you aren’t receiving every discount possible, it’s possible you qualify for a lower rate.
- Discount for Swiching Early – Some companies provide a discount for signing up prior to your current Versa insurance policy expiring. You can save around 10% with this discount.
- Multi-car Discount – Buying a policy with multiple cars or trucks on a single policy could earn a price break for each car.
- Defensive Driving Course – Taking a course that instructs on driving safety can save you 5% or more and also improve your driving technique.
- Discount for Home Ownership – Owning your own home or condo can help you save on auto insurance because owning a home is proof of financial responsibility.
- Payment Method – By making one initial payment instead of paying each month you could save up to 5%.
- Organization Discounts – Joining certain professional organizations is a simple method to lower premiums on your next renewal.
Please keep in mind that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. If you do the math and it seems like it’s possible to get free car insurance, companies wouldn’t make money that way.
The chart below compares Nissan Versa insurance rates with and without discounts. The premiums are based on a male driver, a clean driving record, no claims, North Carolina state minimum liability limits, comp and collision included, and $500 deductibles. The first bar for each age group shows premium with no discounts. The second shows the rates with homeowner, multi-car, multi-policy, safe-driver, claim-free, and marriage discounts applied.

Why you need auto insurance
Even though it can be expensive, insuring your vehicle is most likely required but also gives you several important benefits.
First, just about all states have mandatory liability insurance requirements which means you are required to buy a minimum amount of liability insurance coverage if you don’t want to risk a ticket. In North Carolina these limits are 30/60/25 which means you must have $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $60,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.
Second, if you have a lien on your Nissan Versa, most lenders will make it mandatory that you buy full coverage to ensure the loan is repaid in case of a total loss. If you do not pay your insurance premiums, the lender may have to buy a policy to insure your Nissan for a lot more money and force you to pay for the much more expensive policy.
Third, auto insurance protects not only your car but also your financial assets. It will also reimburse you for medical expenses for you, your passengers, and anyone else injured in an accident. As part of your policy, liability insurance also covers all legal expenses up to the policy limit if you are sued as the result of your driving. If damage is caused by hail or an accident, your policy will cover the repair costs.
The benefits of buying enough insurance more than cancel out the cost, particularly when you have a large claim. Unknowingly, the average driver overpays more than $810 a year so smart consumers compare quotes each time the policy renews to ensure rates are competitive.
What is the best auto insurance coverage?
When it comes to choosing the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Your financial needs are unique.

- Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
- Are my friends covered when driving my Nissan Versa?
- What happens if I owe more than my Nissan Versa is worth?

Pick the best auto insurance agent in Greensboro for you
If you would like to find a reliable insurance agent, you need to know there are two different types of agents that you can choose from. Greensboro agents can be described as either independent agents or exclusive agents. Both properly insure your vehicles, but it’s a good idea to understand how they are different since it could factor into which type of agent you select.
Independent Insurance Agencies
Independent agencies are not employed by any specific company and that allows them to write policies with any number of different companies and find the cheapest insurance rates. If your premiums go up, they simply move the coverage in-house and you won’t have to switch agencies.
When comparing insurance prices, we recommend you include a couple of independent agencies to get the best comparison.

- Do they feel the quoted coverages are adequate?
- Is insurance their full-time profession?
- Are there any discounts for paying up front?
- Will they take your side in the event of a claim?
- When do they do a full risk review?
- Do you need full coverage on every vehicle?
- Does the agent help file claims?
