Auto insurance rates for a 2008 can vary widely depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating
• Men typically pay more than women
• Low deductibles cost more
• Safety rating of your 2008
• What you do for a living
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you own your home

A final factor that will help determine is the model year. Older cars and trucks cost less in comparison to older models so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. Although more recent vehicles may have a trim level with safety features included like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning system, autonomous braking, and anti-lock brakes which can give discounted rates.

Liability coverage - This coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so consider buying higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage - Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2008 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. It's also possible to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage - Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that 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 important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses (i.e. nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work). They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
