Car insurance premiums on a 2010 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Your location impacts rates
• The number of annual miles
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Safety rating of your 2010
• Your claim history
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Newer models have a higher value than older models so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. Although new models may have safety features included like a backup camera, lane departure warning system, and traction control which may lower rates.

Auto liability

2010 liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2010 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
