Criteria which help determine

Insurance premiums for a 2008 can vary widely depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Higher performance 2008 vehicles cost more
• Any accidents you may have
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Use of your vehicle
• Young drivers cost more
• Being married can lower rates
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having current coverage saves
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value compared to older models so the cost to replace them can inflate annual premiums. On the flip side, more recent vehicles have more advanced features like a telematics system, a collision avoidance system, tire pressure monitors, and traction control which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability

This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2008 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
