Car insurance rates influenced by...

Insurance premiums on a 2006 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 2006
• Whether or not you have claims
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value compared to older models so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. But more recent vehicles have more advanced features including forward-collision avoidance, sideview assist mirrors, and all-wheel drive which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverage

This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2006 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
