Car insurance rates influenced by the following

Car insurance premiums for your 2009 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male rates may be higher
• The deductible you choose
• Crash test rating for your 2009
• Your occupation
• Insurance coverage level
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a lower value than newer models so the payout to repair can decrease annual premiums. Although newer vehicles may have safety features included like tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, lane departure warning system, and adaptive cruise control which may help offset higher rates.

Liability coverages - 2009 liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - Collision coverage covers damage to your resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies 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. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages - Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for medical payments - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible.
