Rates are impacted by...

Car insurance premiums on a 2008 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• Higher performance 2008 vehicles cost more
• Accidents raise premiums
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your occupation
• The amount of protection requested
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. Older models have a lower value than newer models so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. But more recent vehicles may have safety features including anti-lock brakes, blind-spot warning system, an advanced theft deterrent system, and adaptive headlights which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability insurance - This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2008 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive insurance - This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
