Rates are impacted by the following

Insurance premiums on a 2006 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Better credit means lower rates
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Low deductibles cost more
  • Crash test rating for your 2006
  • Whether or not you have claims
  • Maintaining coverage lowers rates
  • Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. New vehicles cost more compared to older models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. But newer vehicles have more advanced features including pedestrian detection, automatic crash notification, and tire pressure monitors that may help give discounted rates.

Liability coverages - This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible 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. It's also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Coverage for medical payments - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
