What influences ?

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2008 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male rates may be higher
• The deductible you choose
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your occupation
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a reduced actual cash value than newer models so the costs to repair can decrease annual premiums. But newer vehicles may have safety features including blind-spot warning system, sideview assist mirrors, tire pressure monitors, and pedestrian detection which may help offset higher rates.

Liability coverages - 2008 liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverages - Collision coverage covers damage to your from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages - This covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage - This provides protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for medical payments - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible.
