All that's required is to spend a few minutes on the computer comparing rates from different insurance companies. This is very easy and can be done by comparing rates here.

Criteria which help determine car insurance premiums

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2007 will vary greatly based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• The performance level of your 2007
• Your accident history
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• How you use your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Newer models have a higher replacement value so repair costs are higher which will push premiums up. Conversely, more recent vehicles may have options such as forward-collision avoidance, tire pressure monitors, and autonomous braking so those may lower rates.

Liability coverage

Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage

This pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
