Who has the Cheapest Car Insurance for a Lincoln MKT?

If you're searching for a new car insurance policy for your Lincoln MKT, you're likely wondering which company offers the cheapest prices.

The runner up for most affordable rates is Shelter Mutual, with insurance policies starting sometimes as little as $40 a month.

What Factors Affect Car Insurance Rates for a Lincoln MKT?

As we mentioned above, there are an array of things that insurance carriers use to decide how much they charge you for a policy -- and each company weighs certain pieces more than others, so there's not a singular carrier that's the cheapest for every driver.

The following sections show several variables auto insurance companies use to calculate rates:

Vehicle Age

Lincoln has been making the MKT for quite some time, so the car's age may make a big difference in how much you'll pay for car insurance. Normally, newer cars are going to cost more to insure because they're worth more, but as they get older, insurance costs will gradually go lower.

Based on the information in the above table, the Lincoln MKT is in line with this trend, as the most expensive models to insure are those that are 8 to 10 years old, while on average, the cheapest models are MKTs that are 11 to 14 years old.

Your Age

How old you are plays a role in how much you pay for insurance. Based on the information above, drivers who are under 24 pay less for auto insurance than older drivers.

Car insurance prices continue to go down as you get older, with the cheapest age group being 18-24 for MKT drivers.

Your Gender

Did you know women usually pay less for car insurance than men? This is because women are less likely to get into accidents and get speeding tickets, which decreases the chances of an insurance claim. The Lincoln MKT sticks to the norm, where men pay around $89 monthly for auto insurance, while women pay about $65.

Where You Live

It may seem like common sense that factors like how old you are and what vehicle you drive play a role in your insurance prices, but you may not realize that where you live can matter just as much. Insurance is regulated on a state-by-state basis, so rates can change quite a bit depending on which state you call home.

For example, the average Lincoln MKT driver in New York pays around $316 per month for liability coverage, while the same Californian owner will pay only a fifth of that price, on average. The chart shows average premiums for the top 10 most populous states, just to give you a good idea of how much rates can change across states.

Lincoln MKT Car Insurance Discounts

No matter how old you are, what vehicle you drive, or what state you call home, using as many discounts as possible when it comes to your car insurance policy is always in your best interest.

Even though all insurance carriers offer their own unique discounts, there are a few different ones that you'll find with most companies. These include things like:

• Defensive driving discounts for taking a defensive driving class through a certified school or institution
• Multi-car discounts for insuring more than one of your vehicles with the same company
• Vehicle safety discounts for having a vehicle with higher safety ratings or one with certain safety features (like anti-lock brakes or air bags)
• Multi-policy discounts for using the same insurance carrier for both your home and car insurance

But these aren't the only discounts auto insurance carriers offer to their customers.

Although you may not have control of every factor car insurance carriers look at to calculate premiums (like some of the ones mentioned above), there are quite a few you can control. Below are just a few of the things you can use to your advantage in order to save money on auto insurance:

Your Driving Record

It's no secret that car insurance companies offer the most affordable prices to drivers with clean records. And you probably wouldn't be surprised that if you get a ticket for speeding or get into an accident, insurance rates will go up. But exactly how much is it going to cost you for these infractions?

According to the table above, accidents will usually cost MKT drivers more than tickets, but both will result in above average rates. Lincoln MKT drivers with a single accident on their record pay about $59 a month, while drivers with one ticket will pay an average of $56 a month. Drivers who have multiple violations of either kind will end up paying even more.

How Much You Drive

How much you drive each year affects your auto insurance premiums. Those who drive less often have fewer opportunities to get into an accident, so they'll normally end up paying less for car insurance. In the table above, you can see that Lincoln MKT owners who drive 10,000 miles or more pay $95 for insurance, while those who drive fewer than 2,500 miles per year pay an average of $59 monthly.

If you don't use your Lincoln MKT to travel or commute regularly, it may be worth getting pay-per-mile or usage-based car insurance. With these policies, you pay a small monthly amount, and your final monthly bill is calculated based on how many miles you drove.

What car insurance discounts can I get for my Lincoln MKT?

There are a variety of different discounts out there for insurance. Many of them (like "safe driver discounts" and "multi-policy discounts") are more based on you than the vehicle you drive, but if your MKT has safety features like airbags, anti-theft systems, anti-lock brakes, and other features, it may qualify for certain discounts. The only way to know for sure is to reach out to your insurance company and ask about their list of discounts, since they shift quite a bit from company to company.
