Car insurance premiums on a 2006 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
• The number of annual miles
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Safety rating of your 2006
• Your occupation
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old cost less than newer models so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. Although new models may have safety features included like tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, active head restraints, and adaptive cruise control that may help lower rates.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other 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 you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for collisions

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2006 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
