Here’s Dylan, one of our Insurance Brokers, to answer that question
The insurance cost of accident benefit premiums may be lower than collision comprehensive premiums.
This is due to differences in the safety features between cars; the cost of accident benefit premiums will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
When it comes to repairing your vehicle, your collision and comprehensive premiums may be higher, and this is due to the more complex technology being built into cars. The more complex, the higher the repair cost, which also makes your claim dollars go up.
To give you an example, I had two different clients call in to fix big cracks in their windshields. The first client owns a 2007 Honda Accord, and it cost them about $250 to fix. The second client has a 2018 Honda Accord; it cost $900 to fix. Same crack, but the newer vehicle has sensors around the windshield, and that extra work had to be accommodated.
