Insurance premiums paid to insure a 2006 can fluctuate considerably based upon several criteria. Some of these factors include:

  • The performance level of your 2006
  • Accidents raise premiums
  • Whether you insure your home with the same company
  • How you use your vehicle
  • Young drivers cost more
  • Being married may save money
  • Extra coverages like towing and rental
  • Whether or not you have claims
  • Maintaining coverage lowers rates
  • Whether you own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Models that are new have a higher replacement value compared to older models so repair costs are higher which may result in higher rates. But more recent vehicles have more advanced features including all-wheel drive, a telematics system, and autonomous braking which may help offset higher rates.

Liability auto insurance - Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) - This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you'll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense insurance - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
