Car insurance premiums for a 2008 will vary greatly and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• High performance increases premiums
• Your accident history
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Use of your vehicle
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your claim history
• Having current coverage saves
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher value than older models so the costs to repair will push premiums up. On the flip side, new models may have safety features like forward-collision avoidance, sideview assist mirrors, and all-wheel drive so those may give discounted rates.

Liability coverage

This provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property. Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. 2008 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
