Rates are impacted by the following

Insurance rates on a 2008 will vary greatly depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• Higher performance 2008 vehicles cost more
• Your accident history
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your profession
• The level of coverage
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older models have a lower value so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as automatic crash notification, sideview assist mirrors, blind-spot warning system, and all-wheel drive so those may help offset higher rates.

Auto liability insurance - This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision - Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a 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 bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance - This coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount 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 it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM Coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible.
