Rates are impacted by...

Auto insurance rates paid to insure a 2007 will vary greatly and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• High performance increases premiums
• Your accident history
• Multiple policies can save money
• How you use your vehicle
• Young drivers cost more
• Having a spouse can save money
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Claims drive up premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Home ownership saves money

A final factor that helps determine is the model year. New vehicles cost more in comparison to later models so the costs to repair will push premiums up. Conversely, more recent vehicles may have a trim level with safety features such as adaptive cruise control, sideview assist mirrors, dual-stage airbags, and a telematics system so those may give discounted rates.

Liability car insurance

This will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so consider buying as much as you can afford.

Collision protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It's also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Coverage for medical expenses

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses (i.e. EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services). They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
