Premiums are calculated by these factors

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2008 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Your driving record
• Better credit means lower rates
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• Crash test rating for your 2008
• Your occupation
• Your coverage level
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old have a lower value than newer models so the costs to repair will push premiums down. On the flip side, newer models may have safety features like dual-stage airbags, all-wheel drive, blind-spot warning system, and tire pressure monitors that may help give discounted rates.

Auto liability - Liability insurance protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - This pays for damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive auto coverage - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments and PIP coverage - Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
