What factors determine ?

Auto insurance rates paid to insure a 2005 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. Taken into consideration are:

• High performance increases premiums
• Accidents raise premiums
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• How you use your vehicle
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Claims drive up premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you rent or own your home

A final factor which can affect is the model year. Newer models have a higher actual cash value in comparison to later models so the costs to repair may result in higher rates. Conversely, newer vehicles may have a trim level with safety features such as all-wheel drive, a rollover prevention system, and adaptive headlights which may lower rates.

Liability coverages - This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. It is cheap coverage so consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision - This covers damage to your from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverages - This pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM Coverage - This protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical payments - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses (i.e. doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses). They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
