Rates are impacted by these things

Car insurance premiums on a 2008 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

  • Tickets increase premiums
  • Credit rating impacts rates
  • Where you live
  • The number of annual miles
  • Male drivers pay higher rates
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • Crash test rating for your 2008
  • Your claim history
  • Having current coverage saves
  • Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle cost more than older models so the costs to repair may result in higher rates. On the flip side, new models may have safety features like autonomous braking, tire pressure monitors, and lane departure warning system which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability auto insurance

This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2008 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
