How Much are Tampa Car Insurance Rates for a Nissan Sentra?

Buying the cheapest car insurance for a Nissan Sentra is pretty simple for most people to do, but it is dependent upon a lot of things such as your marital status, your profession, and physical damage deductibles. Drivers in Florida will pay around $1,174 a year for Sentra insurance, but that figure is using a 40-year-old single female driver with both comprehensive and collision coverage and $1,000 deductibles.

When estimating a car insurance rate like we just did, the issue is that you may not be 40 years old (or even female), possibly married instead of single, and maybe your Sentra is older and does not require full coverage. Just a minor difference in rating criteria or coverage limits could end up in a significant change in how much insurance for a Nissan Sentra costs.

Auto insurance is unique to each driver, so the only way to find cheap insurance rates for your Nissan is to just compare rates yourself. Price quotes are quick and you will get price quotes from the best auto insurance companies in Florida.
