What happens to your insurance when you pay off your car?

I just paid off my 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage. Will my insurance rate go down since I no longer have a car loan? Will there be any other changes to my policy?

“Your
car insurance
rate won’t change simply because you paid off your vehicle. However, most people choose to lower their insurance from full coverage, which is required by lenders, to
liability insurance
, which can significantly lower the rate on your Mitsubishi Mirage
The value of your car plays a vital role in whether you choose
collision insurance
and
comprehensive insurance
or liability only. A general rule is that if your annual insurance payment is 10% of the value of the car or more, you should switch to liability only.”
