Insurance rates for a 2008 can vary widely subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 2008
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle have a higher actual cash value so the payout to repair can inflate annual premiums. Conversely, newer models may have options such as adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning system which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability - 2008 liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage - This pays for damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. 2008 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) - Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Insurance for medical payments - Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
