Insurance Premiums Are Skyrocketing—Here’s How to Fight Back

With inflation affecting everything from groceries to gas, auto insurance is no exception. According to recent industry data, car insurance premiums have risen as much as 22% nationwide in the past year, with some states seeing even higher increases.¹ As insurers deal with rising repair costs, parts shortages, and higher accident rates, drivers are paying the price.

But there’s a smart, underused strategy that could help you fight back: raise your deductible.

What Is a Deductible?

Your deductible is the amount you agree to pay out-of-pocket before your auto insurance coverage kicks in after a claim. For example, if your deductible is $500 and your repair costs are $2,000, you pay the first $500 and your insurer pays the rest.

The Hack: Raise Your Deductible to Lower Your Premium

Raising your deductible from $500 to $1,000—or even $2,000—can significantly reduce your monthly insurance premium. On average, drivers can save 15–30% or more annually by opting for a higher deductible.

But understandably, many people hesitate to do this because they worry about affording the deductible if an accident happens.

The Solution: Deductible Reimbursement Coverage

That’s where American Deductible comes in. We offer deductible reimbursement plans starting at less than $10/month. That means you can enjoy lower insurance premiums AND protect yourself from having to pay that higher deductible.

Here’s how it works:

1. You raise your auto insurance deductible (say, from $500 to $1,000).
2. Your insurance premium drops—often by 15–30%.
3. You sign up with American Deductible and get reimbursement coverage.
4. If you file a claim, we reimburse your deductible—up to your chosen plan limit.

For many customers, the total cost of our protection plan is less than the savings they gain from the lower insurance premium. In other words, you could pay $0 out-of-pocket for your deductible and still come out ahead.

Smart Coverage. Real Savings.

Whether you’re looking to reduce monthly expenses, plan for the unexpected, or simply take control of your financial future, this strategy is a win-win.

✅ Lower your auto insurance premiums
