Insurance rates paid to insure a 2007 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Better credit means lower rates
  • The size of your community
  • Annual mileage can affect rates
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Low deductibles cost more
  • Safety rating of your 2007
  • Your profession
  • The level of coverage
  • Whether you own your home

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are a few years old cost less so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as autonomous braking, an advanced theft deterrent system, a telematics system, and adaptive headlights that may help give discounted rates.

Auto liability

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

This covers damage to your from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
