Criteria which help determine your insurance rates

Insurance premiums for your 2007 will vary greatly based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

  • The performance level of your 2007
  • Your accident history
  • Whether you insure your home with the same company
  • Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
  • Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
  • Your job
  • The level of coverage
  • Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a much lower replacement value compared to new models so the payout to repair will push premiums down. Conversely, more recent vehicles have more advanced features such as lane departure warning system, dual-stage airbags, and sideview assist mirrors so those may help offset higher rates.

Liability coverage

Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
