Premiums are calculated by these factors

Insurance rates on a 2006 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Credit rating impacts rates
• The size of your community
• The number of annual miles
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 2006
• Your profession
• The level of coverage
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are a few years old have a lower value so the cost to replace them may end up costing you less. Conversely, newer models may have options such as tire pressure monitors, anti-lock brakes, and forward-collision avoidance which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability insurance

This protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

This pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2006 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
