Which factors influence car insurance premiums?

Insurance premiums for a 2008 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Taken into consideration are:

• Higher performance 2008 vehicles cost more
• How many accidents you have had
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Use of your vehicle
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher value compared to older models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. Although more recent vehicles have more advanced features included like active head restraints, an advanced theft deterrent system, dual-stage airbags, and sideview assist mirrors that may help give discounted rates.

Liability insurance

This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2008 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical expense coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
