Rates are impacted by these factors

Insurance premiums for a 2007 can vary widely depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating
• Where you live
• How many miles you drive
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• The deductible you choose
• Crash test rating for your 2007
• Your job
• Your coverage level
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models have a lower value compared to new models so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. On the flip side, newer models have more advanced features like pedestrian detection, a collision avoidance system, and adaptive headlights which can help offset higher rates.

Coverage for liability

This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy higher limits if possible.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays for damage to your caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2007 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout 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 dropping full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible.
