Insurance premiums on a 2014 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

  • Tickets increase premiums
  • Credit rating impacts rates
  • Male rates may be higher
  • The deductible you choose
  • Safety rating of your 2014
  • Your job
  • Insurance coverage level
  • Whether you own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks cost less compared to new models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you less. Although newer vehicles have more advanced features included like adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning system which may help offset higher rates.

Coverage for liability - This can cover damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - Collision coverage covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2014 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) - This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Insurance for medical payments - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible.
