What factors impact car insurance premiums?

Car insurance premiums for a 2006 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• The performance level of your 2006
• How many accidents you have had
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Your age
• Whether you are married
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Your claim history
• Having current coverage saves
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. Newer models have a higher actual cash value than older models so repair costs are higher which may end up costing you more. On the flip side, newer models may have safety features like forward-collision avoidance, a collision avoidance system, a backup camera, and automatic crash notification that may help lower rates.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision insurance

This pays for damage to your caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2006 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This protects you and your vehicle's occupants when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
