Car insurance premiums for a 2008 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• Higher performance 2008 vehicles cost more
• Accidents raise premiums
• Multiple policies can save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your occupation
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. Older models cost less than newer models so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. But more recent vehicles may have safety features including anti-lock brakes, pedestrian detection, active head restraints, and an advanced theft deterrent system which may help offset higher rates.

Liability coverage - This coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. Liability can pay for 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 high a limit as you can afford.

Collision - Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. 2008 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage - Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
