How Much are Orlando Car Insurance Rates for Welfare Recipients?

The vehicle on the policy is probably the most important factor when comparing economical insurance for welfare recipients. Vehicles with higher performance characteristics, poor passenger safety features, or high incidents of liability claims will cost substantially more to insure than more economical and safe models. The next list showcases coverage costs for a handful of the cheapest vehicles to insure in Florida.

Prices based on single female driver age 50, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $1,000 deductibles, and Florida minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include claim-free, multi-policy, safe-driver, multi-vehicle, and homeowner. Prices do not factor in specific location which can raise or lower coverage rates noticeably.

Based on these rates, you can expect models like the Honda Accord, Ford Escape, Ford Edge, Honda CR-V, and Toyota Camry will be some of the cheaper vehicles to insure for drivers on welfare.

Cost difference between full coverage and liability

Paying less for car insurance is the goal of the majority of people, and a great way to reduce the cost of insurance for welfare recipients is to not buy comprehensive and collision coverage. The chart below illustrates the difference between insurance rates with and without full coverage. The costs are based on no violations or claims, $100 deductibles, single marital status, and no additional discounts are factored in.

If the expense is averaged for all age categories, full coverage on your policy costs $2,656 per year more than just buying liability only. That raises the question if buying full coverage is worth the money. There isn’t a written rule to delete physical damage coverage, but there is a general school of thought. If the annual cost of your full coverage insurance is more than 10% of any settlement you would receive from your insurance company, then it might be time to consider dropping full coverage.

There are a few situations where dropping full coverage is not financially feasible. If you haven’t satisfied your loan, you have to maintain full coverage in order to prevent your loan from defaulting. Also, if you don’t have enough money to buy a different vehicle if your current one is totaled, you should not eliminate full coverage.
