Insurance rates on a 2007 will vary greatly subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

  • More performance equals higher cost
  • Your accident history
  • Multiple policies can save money
  • Pleasure use vs. commuting use
  • Young drivers cost more
  • Being married may save money
  • Extra coverages like towing and rental
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • Maintaining coverage lowers rates
  • Whether you own your home

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are new cost more so the payout to repair will push premiums up. But more recent vehicles may have options including adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, traction control, and forward-collision avoidance so those may help offset higher rates.

Auto liability

2007 liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2007 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage covers 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 maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
