The are a couple different ways to compare rate quotes from local car insurance companies. The quickest method to compare involves getting comparison quotes online. This can be done by comparing rates here.

Rates are determined by these things

Insurance premiums on a 2008 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• Higher performance 2008 vehicles cost more
• Accidents raise premiums
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your job
• Your coverage level
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a lower value compared to new models so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. On the flip side, new models have more advanced features like a telematics system, dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and a collision avoidance system which may lower rates.

Liability

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2008 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
