Data based on married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and Nebraska minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include safe-driver, multi-policy, homeowner, claim-free, and multi-vehicle. Rates do not factor in Lincoln location which can impact price quotes noticeably.
Based on this data, we can arrive at the conclusion that using a $100 deductible will cost you approximately $32 more each month or $384 for a full year averaged for all LS 460 models than requesting the higher $500 deductible. Because you would pay $400 more out of your own pocket with a $500 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you normally go more than 13 months between claim filings, you would most likely save money if you decide on a higher deductible.
How to calculate if higher deductibles make sense
Average monthly premium for $100 deductibles: | $130 |
Average monthly premium for $500 deductibles (subtract): | – $98 |
Monthly savings from raising deductible: | $32 |
Difference between deductibles ($500 – $100): | $400 |
Divide difference by monthly savings: | $400 / $32 |
Number of months required between physical damage coverage claims in order to save money by choosing the higher deductible | 13 months |
One important caveat is that higher deductibles results in more money out-of-pocket when you have a physical damage claim. You must have a higher level of savings in order to pay more to get your vehicle repaired.
The information below highlights how deductible selection and can influence Lexus LS 460 yearly insurance costs for different ages of insureds. The information is based on a single male driver, full physical damage coverage, and no discounts are applied to the premium.

Car insurance premiums based on gender
The chart below shows the comparison of Lexus LS 460 auto insurance rates for male and female drivers. The price estimates are based on no claims or driving violations, comp and collision included, $500 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no other discounts are factored in.
Should you buy full coverage?
The illustration below illustrates the comparison of Lexus LS 460 car insurance costs with full physical damage coverage compared to only buying liability only. The rate quotes are based on no accidents or driving violations, $1,000 deductibles, marital status is single, and no additional discounts are factored in.
When to buy liability coverage only
There is no set guideline to eliminate full coverage, but there is a guideline you can consider. If the yearly cost of comp and collision coverage is more than about 10% of the replacement cost minus the deductible, then you might want to consider buying only liability coverage.
For example, let’s say your Lexus LS 460 claim settlement value is $3,000 and you have $1,000 deductibles. If your vehicle is severely damaged, you would only receive $2,000 after paying your policy deductible. If premiums are more than $200 a year to have full coverage, then it could be time to drop full coverage.
There are some cases where buying only liability insurance is not advised. If you still owe a portion of the original loan, you have to keep full coverage to protect the lienholder’s interest in the vehicle. Also, if your emergency fund is not enough to purchase a different vehicle if your current one is in an accident, you should not drop full coverage.
