What factors impact your insurance rates?

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2003 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating
• The size of your community
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• The deductible you choose
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• No claims lowers premiums
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Whether you rent or own your home

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are new have a higher actual cash value so repair costs are higher which can inflate annual premiums. Although new models may have options included like autonomous braking, tire pressure monitors, and lane departure warning system which can help offset higher rates.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your 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. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This covers 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 maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
