Premiums are calculated by these things

Insurance premiums on a 2008 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• The performance level of your 2008
• How many accidents you have had
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married can lower rates
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Whether or not you have claims
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher actual cash value compared to older models so repair costs are higher which may end up costing you more. But new models have more advanced features including tire pressure monitors, traction control, and adaptive cruise control that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability - Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. Collision coverage for your 2008 can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) - This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Insurance for medical payments - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
