Criteria which help determine car insurance premiums

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2007 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• Your driving record
• Better credit means lower rates
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• The deductible you choose
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your occupation
• The level of coverage
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a much lower replacement value than newer models so the costs to repair will push premiums down. Conversely, newer models may have safety features such as active head restraints, an advanced theft deterrent system, and lane departure warning system that may help help offset higher rates.

Liability auto insurance - Liability insurance protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - This coverage pays for damage to your from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) - This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical expense insurance - Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible.
