What influences your insurance rates?

Car insurance premiums for your 2015 can vary widely subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating
• Male rates may be higher
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your claim history
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. Newer models cost more than older models so the payout to repair can inflate annual premiums. Although newer vehicles may have safety features included like lane departure warning system, anti-lock brakes, and adaptive headlights which can lower rates.

Liability coverages

2015 liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other's property or people in an accident. Liability coverage pays for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Coverage for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
