What factors impact ?

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2006 can fluctuate considerably based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Your location impacts rates
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• Higher deductibles save money
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your profession
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you rent or own your home

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Used vehicles have a reduced actual cash value so the costs to repair will push premiums down. But more recent vehicles may have options including a collision avoidance system, all-wheel drive, a telematics system, and tire pressure monitors which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability insurance

Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive insurance

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This gives you protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
