What influences car insurance premiums?

Insurance premiums for your 2007 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• How many accidents you have had
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old have a reduced actual cash value compared to new models so the payout to repair can decrease annual premiums. But new models have more advanced features including traction control, tire pressure monitors, a collision avoidance system, and a telematics system that may help help offset higher rates.

Liability

2007 liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other's property or people that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This provides protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
