Buying the cheapest car insurance for a Ford Escape relies on a whole bunch of rating criteria such as annual miles driven, your credit status, and the level of deductible you choose. Drivers will pay around $1,279 annually to insure their Escape, but that is a valuation calculated based on a 40-year-old single male driver with both comprehensive and collision coverage and $250 deductibles.
It’s highly likely you may not be 40 years old (or even male), maybe you are married instead of single, or maybe you just want different deductibles. Auto insurance is not the same for everyone, so the best way to find affordable rates for your Ford is to just compare rates yourself.
The specific trim level will most likely have an effect on the coverage cost, so the price you pay to insure a Escape XLS 2WD trim level will be $160 less than the price to insure the more costly Escape Limited 4WD model, as shown in the table below.

Does full coverage make sense?
Paying a lower price for insurance is probably important to the majority of vehicle owners, and one way to pay less for insurance for a Ford Escape is to not buy full coverage. The information below visualizes the comparison of premium costs with liability coverage only compared to full coverage. The data assumes no accidents, no driving violations, $100 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no discounts are factored in.
On average, physical damage coverage costs an additional $2,586 per year over and above liability only. That raises the question when is it a good idea to stop buying full coverage. There isn’t a steadfast formula for eliminating physical damage coverage on your policy, but there is a general guideline. If the yearly cost of full coverage is more than around 10% of the replacement cost minus the deductible, then it might be time to consider dropping full coverage.
There are some situations where eliminating full coverage is not recommended. If you still owe a portion of the original loan, you have to carry full coverage to satisfy the loan requirements. Also, if your finances do not allow you to purchase a different vehicle in the even your car is totaled, you should not buy liability only.
