Buying cheap car insurance for a Ford Escape in Pennsylvania is dependent upon a complicated rating formula that uses factors such as whether you are married, if you have a tendency to file claims, and your choice of physical damage deductibles. Drivers in Pennsylvania pay on average $769 per year to insure their Escape, but that cost is a valuation using a 50-year-old single male driver with full comprehensive and collision coverage and $500 deductibles.
There’s a high likelihood you aren’t exactly 50 years old or even a male, possibly married instead of single, or maybe you prefer to not insure for full coverage. Auto insurance requires individual risk assessment, so the only real way to find the most affordable coverage for your Ford is to compare rates from as many companies as possible.

Cost comparison with and without full coverage
Saving money when shopping for car insurance should be important to most drivers, and one way to buy cheaper insurance for a Ford Escape is to not buy comprehensive and collision coverage. The example below shows the comparison of car insurance rates with and without physical damage coverage. The data assumes no accidents or driving violations, $250 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no policy discounts are applied.
If we average the cost for ages 20 through 70, full coverage on your policy costs $1,731 per year more than buying just liability insurance. That is a big expense that brings up the question if physical damage coverage is worth the money. There is no exact formula of when to eliminate full coverage on your policy, but there is a general convention. If the annual cost of comprehensive and collision coverage is more than around 10% of replacement cost minus your deductible, then you may need to consider dropping full coverage.
For example, let’s say your vehicle’s claim settlement value is $10,500 and you have $1,000 physical damage deductibles. If your vehicle is damaged in an accident, the most you would receive is $9,500 after paying your policy deductible. If you are paying more than $950 annually for your policy with full coverage, then it could be time to drop full coverage.
There are some conditions where removing full coverage is not financially feasible. If you still owe a portion of the original loan, you have to maintain full coverage as part of the loan conditions. Also, if your savings is not enough to buy a different vehicle if your current one is in an accident, you should not eliminate full coverage.
The chart below shows how choosing a deductible can impact annual premium costs when researching cheap insurance for a Ford Escape. The premium estimates are based on a married male driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, and no discounts are applied to the premium.
As shown above, a 50-year-old driver could save $230 a year by changing from a $100 deductible to a $500 deductible, or save $346 by selecting a $1,000 deductible. Even younger drivers, like the Age 20 category, could possibly save $762 or more just by choosing higher deductibles when buying full coverage.
If you make the decision to raise deductibles, it will be necessary to have spare funds to be able to cover the extra out-of-pocket expense, which deters some people from using high deductibles.
