Premiums are calculated by...

Insurance rates on a 2008 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Credit rating
• Men typically pay more than women
• Low deductibles cost more
• Crash test rating for your 2008
• Your profession
• Your coverage level
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are a few years old have a lower value so the cost to replace them may end up costing you less. On the flip side, more recent vehicles may have options like lane departure warning system, dual-stage airbags, and pedestrian detection which can give discounted rates.

Liability coverage - This will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage - This will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2008 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
