What influences the rate you pay?

Insurance premiums for your 2007 will vary greatly subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• Your accident history
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher replacement value compared to older models so the payout to repair will push premiums up. Although more recent vehicles have more advanced features included like lane departure warning system, pedestrian detection, and tire pressure monitors so those may give discounted rates.

Liability - 2007 liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage - Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision - Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, 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 from other motorists when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
