How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Ford Escape
You have a number of factors to consider when finding the right coverage levels for your Ford Escape, starting with your state requirements for liability limits. You may choose to add other coverage options on top of your state-mandated liability insurance, such as these optional coverages:[3]
Collision coverage
With collision insurance, your insurance company will help pay the repair costs of your Escape if you cause an accident. Without this kind of insurance coverage, you’ll pay out of pocket for your damages in an at-fault accident.
Comprehensive coverage
Accidents aren’t the only way your Escape might sustain damage. Comprehensive insurance will help pay the repair costs resulting from anything other than a collision, including things like vandalism or extreme weather. This may also be important if you live in an area with high theft rates.
Personal injury protection coverage
PIP coverage helps pay for medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, no matter who caused it. If you don’t have health insurance, or if your age or other cost factors put medical expenses out of reach, this might be a worthwhile coverage to add.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
If you’re in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, uninsured motorist coverage will help cover the cost of your property damage or medical bills. Some states require all drivers to carry this coverage, but it may be worth considering even if your state doesn’t mandate it.
Ford Escape car insurance FAQs
If you’re looking for the best Ford Escape insurance rates, the answers to the following common questions can help.
USAA has the lowest average Ford Escape insurance quotes. But if you don’t qualify for USAA, GEICO and State Farm also have low rates. The cheapest car insurance rates aren’t the same for any two Ford Escape drivers. Everything from the driver profile, location, and driving history to the vehicle age, mileage, and safety features can all affect premiums, so it’s important to compare multiple companies.

On average, the Ford Escape costs $84 per month for liability coverage and $158 per month for full coverage, Insurify data shows.
Yes. The Ford community gives the Escape an estimated longevity of 150,000 to 200,000 miles, or 10 to 15 years. But careful maintenance and good driving habits can keep these vehicles on the road longer.[4]

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
- Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
- Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
- No additional coverage
- Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
- Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
