What influences ?

Insurance premiums on a 2008 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Whether or not you have claims
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Newer models cost more compared to older models so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. Conversely, new models have more advanced features such as lane departure warning system, dual-stage airbags, and pedestrian detection which may lower rates.

Liability coverage - 2008 liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2008 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage - This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
