Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Car insurance premiums on a 2007 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Credit rating
• Where you live
• The number of annual miles
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your claim history
• Having current coverage saves
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. New vehicles cost more than older models so the costs to repair can inflate annual premiums. On the flip side, new models may have safety features like anti-lock brakes, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous braking which can give discounted rates.

Liability

This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2007 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
