What influences car insurance premiums?

Auto insurance rates on a 2009 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• How many accidents you have had
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Claims drive up premiums
• Having current coverage saves
• Whether you rent or own your home

A final factor which can affect is the model year. New vehicles have a higher actual cash value in comparison to later models so the payout to repair may end up costing you more. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have a trim level with safety features like automatic crash notification, sideview assist mirrors, blind-spot warning system, and all-wheel drive that may help give discounted rates.

Auto liability insurance - 2009 liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Collision - This covers damage to your resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2009 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It's also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive insurance - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM Coverage - This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses (i.e. doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses). They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
