What factors impact ?

Car insurance premiums for a 2008 can fluctuate considerably based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• Low deductibles cost more
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your claim history
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher actual cash value than older models so repair costs are higher which may result in higher rates. But more recent vehicles may have safety features including tire pressure monitors, traction control, and adaptive cruise control which may give discounted rates.

Coverage for liability - Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property that is your fault. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2008 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) - Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Insurance for medical payments - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
