How does the size and class of the Ford Crown Victoria affect liability rates?

What does liability insurance cover? Liability insurance protects you if you cause an accident. It pays for the other driver’s medical bills (bodily injury liability) and vehicle damage (property damage liability). Every driver must have this coverage or face fines and license revocation.

However, prices for liability insurance aren’t the same across the board. Drivers’ rates will depend mostly on what type of vehicle they own (although driving record will also influence rates). Why does the type of vehicle you own matter so much?

Vehicles that inflict significant damage on other vehicles (such as large, heavy SUVs) or vehicles that crash easily (such as sports cars) are riskier to insure. The Ford Crown Victoria does appear to be a riskier vehicle to insure, as it is a very large four-door car.

However, advancements in technology have helped make large vehicles safer, so they won’t always plow through other vehicles. Advancements to crash prevention and body build mean that a large vehicle doesn’t always have high liability rates. To check a vehicle’s risk level, insurers will look at average insurance losses for your vehicle.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has data on losses for various vehicles. While the IIHS doesn’t have bodily injury losses recorded for the Ford Crown Victoria, the property damage losses from 2007-2009 were -4 percent.

This is an average loss compared to other very large four-door cars’ losses. However, anything in the negative is a great loss ratio. It means a car didn’t have huge insurance losses from multiple liability claims, which means you could have lower liability rates.

What does liability insurance cost for the Ford Crown Victoria?

We collected a sample quote from Geico to give you an idea of what liability insurance will cost for a 2009 Ford Crown Victoria. We based our sample quote on a 40-year-old male driver from Pennsylvania who owns his car, has a clean driving record, and travels 13,000 miles a year. The quote showed the following rates for bodily injury liability insurance.

• Low ($15,000/$30,000): $41.26
• Medium ($100,000/$200,000): $84.58
• High ($500,000/$500,000): $136.15

It will cost you just under $100 to upgrade from low to high coverage for a six-month policy. This may seem high, but you go from only $15,000 of coverage for one injured person and $30,000 for all injured parties to $500,000 of coverage.

The coverage price increases are lower for property damage liability levels, but cars are less expensive to repair than people. Take a look at the property damage liability rates below.

• Low ($5,000): $444.36
• Medium ($20,000): $475.53
• High ($100,000): $498.31

It is only $54 to upgrade from low to high coverage. This equals less than $10 a month. Since you never know what car you are going to crash into (a $100,000 sports car or a $2,000 beater car), having higher coverage is smart.

What are the safety features and ratings of the Ford Crown Victoria?

If you’ve ever been in an accident and only suffered minor injuries due to your airbags or headrests, then you know that safety features are important. In addition, the better protected you are in a crash, the lower your rates may be. Insurers will also look for features that prevent crashes and theft.

To see what features the Ford Crown Victoria has, we looked at a 2007 Ford Crown Victoria’s safety features on AutoBlog.com.

• Crash prevention: anti-lock brakes.
• Crash safety: front-impact airbags and seatbelt pretensioners.
• Anti-theft: ignition disable device.

The 2007 Ford Crown Victoria is severely lacking in safety features. There is no stability control, side or overhead airbags, or anti-whiplash headrests. Because of this, insurers may not give you much of a discount for your safety features.

However, there is still a chance to get a better rate if your vehicle has good crash ratings. We took a look at the IIHS’s crash test ratings for a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria four-door sedan.

• Moderate overlap front: Good
• Side: Marginal
• Head restraints and seats: Marginal

Unfortunately, only the moderate overlap front crash test earned a good rating (the highest rating possible). Marginal is only one step above poor, so the side crash test and head restraint/seat test didn’t go well. The IIHS video below shows a side crash test on a 2007 Ford Crown Victoria.

Based on these ratings, you could have a slightly higher price on your car insurance, as you are more likely to be injured in the Ford Crown Victoria. The number of fatalities for your general vehicle type may also play a role in how much you pay for car insurance.

Studies done by the IIHS show that cars have more fatalities than SUVs and pickups. 2018 data shows that while there 48 driver fatalities per million vehicles for cars, there were only 34 pickup fatalities and 23 SUV fatalities. For all occupant fatalities per million vehicles cars also led the fatalities: 69 car fatalities, 42 pickup fatalities, and 32 SUV fatalities.

The total car fatalities equaled 13,138 in 2018 (compared to 5,035 SUV fatalities and 4,369 pickup fatalities). Total car fatalities can be broken down into the following crashes.

• Frontal Impact: 7,433 fatalities
• Side Impact: 3,568 fatalities
• Rear Impact: 834 fatalities
• Other (mostly rollovers): 1,303 fatalities

Frontal impacts are the deadliest type of crash for cars. Rear impact crashes have the fewest fatalities, as they have about 6,600 fewer fatalities than frontal impacts. This is why it’s so important to pick out a vehicle that will keep you safe in a crash.

Having a safe vehicle also means lower rates The bad news is that Ford Crown Victoria doesn’t have fantastic safety features or a good crash rating, so you will likely have higher car insurance rates.

What is the MSRP of the Ford Crown Victoria?

Most people aren’t aware of how many prices are put on a car before the fair market price is settled. Cars always start out with a manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP), which is what the manufacturer thinks the car is worth. Sellers will adjust this price to the invoice price (also known as the sticker price). Most people won’t buy cars at the invoice price, instead, most people purchase vehicles at the fair market price (what other customers are paying).

The price that insurers will use to determine the value of your vehicle is the MSRP, as it is a fixed price (the invoice price and fair market price are always changing). The two main car insurance coverages insurers will change based on the MSRP are collision and comprehensive coverages.

Neither of these coverages is required by law, although lenders are allowed to use force-placed insurance when you sign a lease. Force-placed insurance is when the lender buys collision and comprehensive insurance for you. This ensures that lenders don’t have a huge loss if you crash your vehicle and don’t have these insurance coverages.

So what exactly do these two coverages protect you from? Collision coverage will cover any crash with another vehicle or object, such as if you back up into your neighbor’s mailbox. Comprehensive coverage covers everything outside of collisions with other cars and objects. If natural disasters, animal collisions, vandalism, or theft happen, comprehensive coverage will protect you.

Now that you understand what these coverages are, it makes sense that higher MSRPs will result in higher insurance costs. Insurers want to charge more to make sure they don’t suffer a huge loss if your vehicle needs repairs or replaced.

The good news is that the prices for the 2011 Ford Crown Victoria are low. We took a look at Kelley Blue Book (KBB) to find out the prices. Whenever you are looking for a Ford Crown Victoria for sale, you should use a tool like KBB to find out prices. While KBB doesn’t have the MSRP, it does have other prices listed.

• Fair Market Range: $5,058 to $7,913
• Fair Purchase Price: $6,486
• Typical Listing Price: $7,061

Because the prices are low, you shouldn’t have a high rate for collision and comprehensive insurance unless the losses for the Ford Crown Victoria are terrible. Insurers want to know what the best and worst vehicles for overall collision losses are, as it helps them determine the risk of having to pay out a claim.

Take a look at the IIHS’s data on losses below to find out losses for the Ford Crown Victoria.

• Collision Loss: -22 percent (better than average)
• Comprehensive Loss: -21 percent (better than average)

Both these losses are fantastic, and they could mean lower car insurance rates.
