Which factors influence ?

Insurance premiums paid to insure a 2009 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Taken into consideration are:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Your location impacts rates
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Whether or not you have claims
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Newer models have a higher value compared to older models so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. Conversely, more recent vehicles have more advanced features such as tire pressure monitors, a telematics system, autonomous braking, and adaptive headlights which may lower rates.

Liability coverages

This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverages

This pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
