Deductible is the single biggest lever on physical damage premium. Here's the typical El Paso savings.
Approximate savings
- $250 to $500: save 10–15%
- $500 to $1,000: save 15–25%
- $1,000 to $2,500: save 25–40%
The only rule that matters
Pick a deductible you can pay tomorrow without borrowing. A $2,500 deductible saves real money — but only if you have $2,500 sitting in savings.
