Criteria which help determine insurance rates

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

• High performance increases premiums
• Accidents raise premiums
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Whether or not you have claims
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Newer models have a higher value compared to older models so the costs to repair may result in higher rates. Conversely, more recent vehicles have more advanced features such as blind-spot warning system, a telematics system, forward-collision avoidance, and a rollover prevention system which may lower rates.

Auto liability insurance

This will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies 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. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
