What factors impact car insurance premiums?

Insurance premiums paid to insure a 2007 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• The performance level of your 2007
• How many accidents you have had
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• How you use your vehicle
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Your job
• Your coverage level
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a reduced actual cash value compared to new models so the costs to repair will push premiums down. On the flip side, more recent vehicles have more advanced features like sideview assist mirrors, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning system, and tire pressure monitors that may help lower rates.

Liability coverage

Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

This pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle's occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
