BMW X6 insurance statistics and information

The coverage information displayed next outlines a range of insurance prices for BMW X6 models. Learning a little about how insurance policy premiums are formulated can benefit drivers when making smart choices when comparing insurance rates.

Premium data assumes married female driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, $100 deductibles, and North Carolina minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include homeowner, safe-driver, multi-policy, claim-free, and multi-vehicle. Estimates do not factor in specific garaging location which can modify coverage rates greatly.

Deductible analysis

One of the hardest decisions when shopping for car insurance is how high or low should comp and collision deductibles be. The following insurance rates show the differences in price between low and high physical damage coverage deductibles. The first set of rates uses a $250 deductible and the second price chart uses a $500 deductible.

Price data assumes married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and North Carolina minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include multi-vehicle, safe-driver, claim-free, multi-policy, and homeowner. Rate information does not factor in Durham location which can revise auto insurance rates substantially.

We can estimate from the data above that using a $250 deductible costs an average of $16 more each month or $192 a year than choosing the higher $500 deductible. Because you would be required to pay $250 more out of your own pocket with a $500 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you usually have at a minimum 16 months between claims, you would probably be better off if you choose the higher deductible.

Agents in the independent channel do not sell for just one brand so they can insure your vehicles through many different auto insurance companies and possibly get better coverage at lower prices.
