🚗 Frisco Auto Insurance: Your Complete Protection Guide for Texas's Fastest Growing City

Welcome to Insurance Talk Texas! In this episode, we're breaking down everything Frisco drivers need to know about protecting themselves on some of North Texas's busiest and fastest-changing roads.

📈 Frisco's Traffic Reality & Your Insurance

Frisco experienced 10.2% population growth in just one year, and traffic accidents have increased 35.66% since 2010. With an average commute of 30.1 minutes, Universal Kids Resort construction, PGA headquarters traffic, and 67,000 Frisco ISD students creating congestion, auto insurance isn't just about meeting Texas minimums—it's about real protection.

⚠️ Critical Coverage Information for Frisco Drivers

Traffic Accidents Up 35.66%: Since 2010, creating higher-risk driving environment Average Insurance Costs: $2,078/year full coverage ($173/month), $978/year minimum coverage ($81/month) Texas Uninsured Driver Rate: 14% (one in seven drivers has NO insurance) Teen Driver Costs: Adding 16-year-old increases premiums $2,000-$3,000 annually Frisco ISD Impact: 67,000 students creating massive school zone and teen driver considerations Dallas North Tollway Risks: High-speed corridor with frequent serious accidents Average Commute: 30.1 minutes daily = extended accident exposure

🛡️ Five Essential Coverage Types Every Frisco Driver Needs

1️⃣ ADEQUATE LIABILITY COVERAGE (100/300/100 minimum) Texas requires only 30/60/25, but these minimums are dangerously inadequate for serious Frisco accidents. One major injury or totaled luxury vehicle exhausts state minimums. Recommend 100/300/100 coverage: $100K per person bodily injury, $300K per accident, $100K property damage. Protects YOUR assets if you're at fault.

2️⃣ UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE With 14% of Texas drivers (one in seven) uninsured, this coverage is CRITICAL. Protects you when at-fault driver can't pay. Covers hit-and-run accidents. Costs only $3-6/month for 25/50 coverage. Match your liability limits for maximum protection. Not mandatory in Texas but absolutely essential.

3️⃣ COLLISION COVERAGE Pays for damage to YOUR vehicle regardless of fault. Essential with Frisco's congestion and accident rates. Protects major asset even when you cause accident. Critical if vehicle is financed (lender-required).

4️⃣ COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE Protection against theft, vandalism, weather damage, hitting animals. Important in growing urban area with construction zones. Covers parking lot damage, broken windows, stolen vehicles.

5️⃣ RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT & ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE Frisco commuters can't afford extended vehicle downtime. Rental coverage provides temporary vehicle during repairs. Roadside assistance critical on Dallas North Tollway. Minimal cost for significant peace of mind.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to Insurance Talk Texas! Today we're talking about something that affects every single Frisco driver, and trust me, if you're commuting on the Dallas North Tollway or navigating Frisco's booming growth, you need to hear this.

Speaker 2: Oh man, yes! Frisco's incredible growth is creating some serious insurance challenges that people need to understand. We're talking about a city that just experienced ten point two percent population growth in one year, and here's the stat that should wake everybody up. Traffic accidents in Frisco have increased thirty five point six six percent since twenty ten.

Speaker 1: That's over a third more accidents! And it makes total sense when you think about it. Frisco's gone from this quiet suburb to a major destination. You've got the Universal Kids Resort under construction, the PGA headquarters, the Fields development, Toyota Stadium events. All of that growth means more cars, more congestion, more risks.

Speaker 2: And let's talk about what that really means for your wallet. The average Frisco driver is paying about two thousand seventy eight dollars a year for full coverage auto insurance. That breaks down to roughly one hundred seventy three bucks a month. And for minimum coverage, you're looking at about nine hundred seventy eight a year.

Speaker 1: Now here's something that really surprises folks. Those Texas minimum requirements? Thirty slash sixty slash twenty five. That means thirty thousand per person in bodily injury, sixty thousand per accident, and twenty five thousand for property damage. Sounds like a lot of money, right? But it's actually dangerously low for a city like Frisco.

Speaker 2: So true! Think about it. You're cruising on the Dallas North Tollway during your daily commute, which by the way averages thirty point one minutes for Frisco residents, and you get into a serious accident with multiple people injured. One person's medical bills alone can blow through that thirty thousand dollar limit in a heartbeat.

Speaker 1: And if you total someone's car? With the luxury vehicles you see all over Frisco, twenty five thousand in property damage coverage might not even cover one vehicle! This is where working with experts who understand Frisco specifically becomes critical. Schell Insurance, nine seven two, four two three, four five four six, they help Frisco drivers understand why those state minimums just aren't enough anymore.

Speaker 2: Absolutely! And let's talk about something that keeps me up at night. Uninsured motorists. You know what percentage of Texas drivers are on the road without insurance? Fourteen percent. That's one out of every seven drivers!

Speaker 1: One in seven! So every time you're sitting in traffic on the Tollway or driving through one of those congested areas near the Fields development, statistically, multiple cars around you don't have insurance. And if one of them hits you, guess whose problem that becomes?

Speaker 2: Yours! Unless you have uninsured motorist coverage. And here's what blows my mind. This coverage isn't even mandatory in Texas. Insurance companies have to offer it to you, but you can decline it in writing. And way too many people do because they're trying to save a few bucks.

Speaker 1: But this coverage is so affordable! For twenty five slash fifty uninsured motorist coverage, you're typically looking at three to six dollars a month. That's the price of a fancy coffee, and it could save you from financial devastation if you're hit by someone who can't pay for your damages.

Speaker 2: And it's not just about uninsured drivers. Underinsured motorist coverage is equally important. Say someone with those minimum thirty slash sixty slash twenty five limits hits you and causes serious injuries. Their policy maxes out, but your medical bills keep climbing. Your underinsured motorist coverage kicks in to fill that gap.

Speaker 1: This is another area where Schell Insurance really shines. They're located right there in the area and they understand Frisco's traffic patterns, the Dallas North Tollway risks, all the unique challenges of insuring drivers in one of America's fastest growing cities. You can reach them at Schell Insurance dot com, that's S C H E L L Insurance dot com.

Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about what might be the biggest insurance expense Frisco families face. Teen drivers. With Frisco ISD having sixty seven thousand students, there are a lot of families dealing with this right now.

Speaker 1: Oh boy, the numbers on teen drivers are intense! Adding a sixteen year old to your policy can increase your annual premiums by two thousand to three thousand dollars. In Texas, teen drivers are paying an average of three hundred thirty three dollars a month for auto insurance.

Speaker 2: Three hundred thirty three a month! That's almost four thousand a year just for one teen driver. And here's something parents need to understand. Sixteen year old males pay about four hundred ninety five dollars more annually than sixteen year old females because statistically, young males are involved in more accidents.

Speaker 1: The statistics back that up. Teen drivers aged sixteen to seventeen crash at a rate of fourteen hundred thirty two accidents per one hundred million miles driven. That drops to seven hundred thirty for eighteen to nineteen year olds. So insurance companies aren't just making up these rates. They're based on real crash data.

Speaker 2: But here's the good news. There are strategies to manage these costs. First and most important, always add your teen to your existing family policy. Never buy them a separate policy. It's way more expensive to insure a teen separately.

Speaker 1: Second strategy, good student discounts! If your teen maintains a three point oh GPA or better, gets on the honor roll, or ranks in the top twenty percent of their class, many insurers will give you up to twenty five percent off.

Speaker 2: That's huge savings! Third strategy, defensive driving courses. Having your teen complete a state approved defensive driving course can reduce rates and, honestly, makes them safer drivers. It's a win win.

Speaker 1: Fourth, think strategically about which vehicle you assign to your teen. If you've got a newer car and an older, less valuable car in your household, put the teen on the older car. It'll have lower comprehensive and collision costs.

Speaker 2: And fifth, consider telematics programs like Drive Safe and Save. These use technology to monitor your teen's driving habits. Safe driving means lower rates, and it gives you peace of mind knowing how they're doing behind the wheel.

Speaker 1: Now let's talk about coverage types that every Frisco driver should have. We already covered liability and uninsured motorist. But collision coverage is critical too, especially with Frisco's traffic congestion.

Speaker 2: Collision coverage pays for damage to your vehicle regardless of who's at fault. So even if you cause the accident, or if it's a single car accident, your vehicle repairs are covered. With used car values still high, collision coverage protects a major asset.

Speaker 1: Comprehensive coverage is your protection against everything else. Theft, vandalism, weather damage, hitting a deer. In a growing urban area like Frisco, comprehensive coverage is essential. Your car's parked at Toyota Stadium for an event, someone dings it in the parking lot and takes off, comprehensive can cover that.

Speaker 2: And here's something Frisco commuters really need. Rental reimbursement coverage. If your car's in the shop after an accident, you still need to get to work, get kids to school, handle life. Rental coverage pays for a temporary vehicle while yours is being repaired.

Speaker 1: Same with roadside assistance. You're on the Dallas North Tollway, you get a flat tire or your battery dies. Roadside assistance gets you help quickly. It's minimal cost for major convenience and safety.

Speaker 2: Let's circle back to those liability limits because this is so important for Frisco drivers. Instead of the state minimum thirty slash sixty slash twenty five, we recommend at least one hundred slash three hundred slash one hundred coverage.

Speaker 1: That's one hundred thousand per person in bodily injury, three hundred thousand per accident, and one hundred thousand in property damage. Yes, it costs more than minimums. But it actually protects you in a serious accident.

Speaker 2: Think about Frisco's demographics. You've got Toyota's North American headquarters nearby, State Farm, JPMorgan Chase, Liberty Mutual. There are a lot of high income professionals living in Frisco driving valuable vehicles. If you're at fault in an accident involving these vehicles and people, you need adequate liability coverage.

Speaker 1: And here's something people don't think about. If you cause a serious accident and your insurance limits are exhausted, you're personally liable for the rest. They can come after your assets, your home, your savings. Adequate liability coverage protects everything you've worked for.

Speaker 2: This is exactly why working with Schell Insurance makes such a difference. They're not just selling you a policy and walking away. They're helping you understand Frisco specific risks and making sure your coverage matches your actual exposure. Give them a call at nine seven two, four two three, four five four six.

Speaker 1: Let's talk about bundling because this is where Frisco families can save serious money. If you bundle your auto and home insurance with the same carrier, you can typically save fifteen to twenty five percent on both policies.

Speaker 2: And multi car discounts! Most Frisco households have multiple vehicles. Insuring all of them with the same company unlocks additional discounts. Some families are saving hundreds of dollars a year just through smart bundling.

Speaker 1: Here's another cost saving strategy. If you can afford a higher deductible, consider raising it from say one thousand dollars to twenty five hundred. Your monthly premiums will drop significantly. Just make sure you have that deductible amount saved in case you need it.

Speaker 2: And your credit score matters more than people realize. In Texas, having poor credit can increase your auto insurance rates significantly. Working on your credit score isn't just about getting better loan rates, it directly affects your insurance costs too.

Speaker 1: Now, what should Frisco drivers be doing right now to protect themselves? First, pull out your policy and look at your liability limits. If you're sitting at those thirty slash sixty slash twenty five minimums, it's time to increase them.

Speaker 2: Second, verify you have uninsured motorist coverage. With fourteen percent of Texas drivers uninsured, this isn't optional in our opinion. It's essential protection.

Speaker 1: Third, if you have teenage drivers or are about to, start planning now. Look into good student discounts, defensive driving courses, all the strategies we talked about. Don't wait until the week before they get their license.

Speaker 2: Fourth, review your coverage annually. Frisco's changing so fast. New developments, changing traffic patterns, different risk exposures. What worked last year might not be adequate this year.

Speaker 1: And that annual review is something Schell Insurance builds into their service. They're proactive about making sure your coverage evolves with your life and with Frisco's growth. Visit Schell Insurance dot com, that's S C H E L L Insurance dot com, to schedule your review.

Speaker 2: Let's wrap up with the most important takeaways. Your auto insurance needs to match Frisco's reality, not just Texas's minimums. With traffic accidents up over thirty five percent since twenty ten and growing every year, adequate coverage isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.

Speaker 1: The three coverage types every Frisco driver must have are adequate liability coverage, uninsured slash underinsured motorist protection, and collision coverage. These three protect you financially no matter what happens on Frisco's busy roads.

Speaker 2: And for families with teens, plan ahead! Use every discount available, add them to your policy, not a separate one, and consider telematics programs that reward safe driving. Yes, it's expensive, but there are strategies to manage costs.

Speaker 1: Whether you're commuting daily on the Dallas North Tollway, dropping kids at one of Frisco ISD's many schools, or heading to an event at Toyota Stadium, your auto insurance needs to protect you. Don't wait until after an accident to realize you're underinsured.
