What factors determine car insurance premiums?

Insurance rates on a 2007 can be significantly different and are calculated by many factors. Taken into consideration are:

  • High performance increases premiums
  • How many accidents you have had
  • Multiple policies can save money
  • Pleasure use vs. commuting use
  • Special coverage such as replacement cost
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • Having continuous coverage saves you money
  • Whether you rent or own your home

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Newer models cost more so the costs to repair may end up costing you more. Although newer vehicles may have options included like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning system, autonomous braking, and anti-lock brakes that may help lower rates.

Liability coverage - This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. It is cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2007 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage - This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount 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.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
