Rates are impacted by these things

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2013 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• The deductible you choose
• Crash test rating for your 2013
• Your profession
• The amount of protection requested
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older models have a lower value so the costs to repair will push premiums down. But new models may have options including a telematics system, blind-spot warning system, and sideview assist mirrors which can help offset higher rates.

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your 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. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive car insurance

This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
