Who Has Affordable Stockton Car Insurance Quotes for a Nissan Altima?

Buying affordable auto insurance for a Nissan Altima in California is pretty straightforward, but it hinges on a lot of rating factors such as how old the vehicle is, the size of your vehicle, and driving citations. Drivers pay approximately $1,475 annually for Altima insurance, but that price is a valuation based upon a 40-year-old single female driver with full physical damage coverage and $500 deductibles.

Odds are that you’re not a 40-year-old female, possibly married instead of single, or maybe you have a speeding ticket that needs to be factored in. This demonstrates why the only real way to find affordable rates for your Nissan is to compare as many rates as possible.

Rate increases following a ticket or accident

The easiest way to maintain the cheapest insurance prices in California for an Altima is to be a cautious driver and avoid accidents and violations. The diagram below highlights how speeding tickets and at-fault fender-benders can impact insurance prices for different age groups of insureds. The premium estimates are based on a single male driver, full coverage, $500 deductibles, and no discounts are applied.

The chart shows that the average cost of auto insurance per year with a clean driving record and no accidents is $2,458. Factor in two speeding tickets and the average cost jumps to $3,251, an increase of $792 each year. Then throw in two accidents along with the two speeding tickets and the yearly cost of insurance for a Nissan Altima jumps again to an average of $6,340. That’s an increase of $3,881, or $323 per month, just for being a less-than-perfect driver!

Why it’s important to shop around

California insurance rates are influenced by many factors that can increase the cost of coverage. Improving your credit score, buying a new vehicle, or getting a ticket for running a stop sign can cause premium changes resulting in some companies being affordable when they were higher priced. In addition to those changes, companies modify rates as often as every three months to reflect underwriting profits or losses. A period of increased losses may cause increased policy costs, while less frequent claims can cause lower-cost Altima insurance rates.

To illustrate this example, the chart below shows which company has the cheapest car insurance in Stockton, CA for a 30-year-old female driver with no accidents or violations, and great credit. If we compare prices based on her current situation, USAA offers the lowest car insurance rates in Stockton at $1,370 a year. This is $281 less than the average policy premium paid by California drivers of $1,651.
