Car insurance rates influenced by these factors

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2008 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• The performance level of your 2008
• How many accidents you have had
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• How you use your vehicle
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• No claims lowers premiums
• Having current coverage saves
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. New vehicles have a higher replacement value so repair costs are higher which may end up costing you more. On the flip side, newer models may have options like automatic crash notification, sideview assist mirrors, blind-spot warning system, and all-wheel drive that may help give discounted rates.

Auto liability insurance - Liability insurance protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision - Collision coverage pays for damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive insurance - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) - Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
