Which factors influence ?

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2008 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Taken into consideration are:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your claim history
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher replacement value than older models so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. Conversely, newer models may have safety features such as a telematics system, dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and a collision avoidance system which may give discounted rates.

Liability

This coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
