Insurance rates on a 2008 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Better credit means lower rates
• Your location impacts rates
• The number of annual miles
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Safety rating of your 2008
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Newer models have a higher value so the payout to repair may end up costing you more. Conversely, newer models may have options such as a collision avoidance system, all-wheel drive, a telematics system, and tire pressure monitors that may help lower rates.

Auto liability insurance

2008 liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2008 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
