Rates are determined by these things

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2006 will vary greatly depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• Higher performance 2006 vehicles cost more
• Your accident history
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• How you use your vehicle
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your occupation
• The level of coverage
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a lower value than newer models so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. Conversely, new models may have safety features such as anti-lock brakes, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous braking so those may help offset higher rates.

Liability

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as much as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
