Car insurance rates influenced by these things

Insurance premiums on a 2010 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• Higher performance 2010 vehicles cost more
• Accidents raise premiums
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Mature drivers pay less
• Having a spouse can save money
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Whether or not you have claims
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher replacement value compared to older models so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. Conversely, new models have more advanced features such as active head restraints, automatic crash notification, blind-spot warning system, and adaptive cruise control which may give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2010 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. 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 expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
