Criteria which help determine your insurance rates

Auto insurance rates for your Scion iQ can be significantly different subject to many criteria. A few of these criteria are:

  • Traffic citations increase rates
  • Better credit means lower rates
  • The size of your community
  • High miles vs. low miles
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Low deductibles cost more
  • NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
  • Claims drive up premiums
  • Having continuous coverage saves you money
  • Owning a home can lower rates

A final factor which can affect iQ insurance rates is the model year. New vehicles have a higher actual cash value in comparison to later models so the payout to repair may end up costing you more. Although newer vehicles may have a trim level with safety features included like pedestrian detection, a collision avoidance system, and adaptive headlights that may help give discounted rates.

To get a better understanding how rates are influenced for your specific model year, select the year of your vehicle from the following list.

Coverage for liability

iQ liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other's property or people that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

This covers damage to your Scion resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It's also possible to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper iQ insurance rates.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your Scion iQ comprehensive insurance. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills (i.e. ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits). They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
