Rates are impacted by...

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2006 will vary greatly and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

  • High performance increases premiums
  • Your accident history
  • Multiple policies can save money
  • How you use your vehicle
  • Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
  • Your profession
  • The level of coverage
  • Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older models have a lower value so the costs to repair may end up costing you less. Conversely, more recent vehicles may have options such as forward-collision avoidance, sideview assist mirrors, and all-wheel drive so those may give discounted rates.

Liability coverage

This will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible 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 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
