What factors impact car insurance premiums?

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2007 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Your driving record
• Better credit means lower rates
• Where you live
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your profession
• The level of coverage
• Whether you rent or own your home

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older models have a reduced actual cash value so the costs to repair will push premiums down. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as forward-collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning system that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive protection

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical expense coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
