What factors impact car insurance premiums?

Insurance premiums paid to insure a 2000 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• The performance level of your 2000
• How many accidents you have had
• Multiple policies can save money
• How you use your vehicle
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models have a reduced actual cash value compared to new models so the costs to repair will push premiums down. But more recent vehicles have more advanced features including tire pressure monitors, a telematics system, autonomous braking, and adaptive headlights that may help help offset higher rates.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages

This covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This provides protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
