Criteria which help determine your insurance rates

Auto insurance rates for your 2007 will vary greatly subject to many criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• Your accident history
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married can lower rates
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• What you do for a living
• The level of coverage
• Owning a home can lower rates

A final factor that will help determine is the model year. Older cars and trucks have a much lower replacement value in comparison to older models so the payout to repair can decrease annual premiums. Conversely, new models may have a trim level with safety features such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, and lane departure warning system so those may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability

2007 liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so consider buying as much as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for bills (i.e. ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits). The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
