You will have the lowest possible monthly premiums, but will have to satisfy the deductible before any insurance pays out. In some cases, the deductible can be a couple thousand dollars. One has to fully weigh the differences in the long run - it may be cheaper (and cause less headaches) to have a lower deductible insurance plan.

About what percent of premiums do you pay for high deductible insurance compared to low deductible insurance?

It really is not possible to define that in percentages. But think of it this way, the higher the deductible ( the amount you pay BEFORE the insurance company begins to pay ) the lower the premium. Just do the math, if you are taking a $2,000 deductible over a $1,000 deductible , but you are only saving $200 a year, it is not a good choice. You are basically putting yourself on the hook for potentially another $1,000 in deductible to save $200.

It depends on the person. The advantage to a higher deductible is lower premiums, however, the disadvantage is having to come up with a large sum of money if you're involved in an at-fault accident. A good question to ask yourself is (for instance, if your deductible is $1000), "If I'm involved in an accident that is my fault, can I come up with $1000 quickly?"
