Premiums are calculated by these factors

Insurance rates for your 2006 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Crash test rating for your 2006
• No claims lowers premiums
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Newer models have a higher actual cash value so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. Although newer models may have options included like pedestrian detection, dual-stage airbags, and blind-spot warning system which may lower rates.

Liability coverage

2006 liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other's property or people that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision insurance

This pays for damage to your resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
