Rates are impacted by these things

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2007 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• High performance increases premiums
• Any accidents you may have
• Multiple policies can save money
• How you use your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married may save money
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are new cost more so the costs to repair can inflate annual premiums. Conversely, new models may have options such as tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, active head restraints, and adaptive cruise control which can help offset higher rates.

Liability auto insurance

This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
