Premiums are calculated by these things

Insurance premiums for a 2006 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• High performance increases premiums
• Any accidents you may have
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Having a spouse can save money
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher actual cash value compared to older models so the costs to repair can inflate annual premiums. Although new models have more advanced features included like a telematics system, a collision avoidance system, tire pressure monitors, and traction control which can give discounted rates.

Coverage for liability

This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so buy higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. 2006 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
