Insurance rates on a 2008 can vary widely depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating
• The size of your community
• The number of annual miles
• Men typically pay more than women
• The deductible you choose
• Safety rating of your 2008
• Your profession
• Your coverage level
• Whether you own your home

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 cost less so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. On the flip side, more recent vehicles may have options like blind-spot warning system, a telematics system, forward-collision avoidance, and a rollover prevention system which can help offset higher rates.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage will cover damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

This will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2008 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since a lot of 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 should not be overlooked.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
