What influences the rate you pay?

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

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Your credit history
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• High miles vs. low miles
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your claim history
• Having current coverage saves
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value than older models so the payout to repair will push premiums up. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have safety features like blind-spot warning system, a telematics system, forward-collision avoidance, and a rollover prevention system so those may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability insurance

2007 liability coverage can 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 you should buy as much as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage covers 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 older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
