Car insurance rates influenced by the following

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2008 can be significantly different and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Better credit means lower rates
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 2008
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value so the costs to repair may end up costing you more. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, traction control, and forward-collision avoidance that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability

This can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage covers damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
