Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance premiums on a 2007 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Credit rating
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your job
• Insurance coverage level
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models have a much lower replacement value compared to new models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you less. Although new models have more advanced features included like adaptive cruise control, anti-lock brakes, and active head restraints which can give discounted rates.

Liability insurance - This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage - Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2007 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive protection - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical expense coverage - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
