Auto insurance rates for a 2007 can be significantly different and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:
A final factor which can affect is the model year. Models that are a few years old cost less in comparison to older models so repair costs tend to be lower which may end up costing you less. But newer models may have a trim level with safety features including lane departure warning system, anti-lock brakes, and adaptive headlights that may help give discounted rates.
Liability coverages
This protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Collision insurance
This pays for damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. 2007 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It's also possible to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive coverages
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.
Coverage for medical payments
Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses (i.e. nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work). They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
