Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Car insurance premiums on a 2006 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• Accidents raise premiums
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your occupation
• Your coverage level
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a much lower replacement value than newer models so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. On the flip side, new models may have safety features like blind-spot warning system, dual-stage airbags, and automatic crash notification which may give discounted rates.

Liability

2006 liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2006 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
