Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance premiums on a 2014 can be significantly different depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Better credit means lower rates
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your job
• The level of coverage
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a much lower replacement value compared to new models so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. Conversely, newer models have more advanced features such as anti-lock brakes, adaptive headlights, and adaptive cruise control that may help give discounted rates.

Liability - This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - This coverage pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2014 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance - Med pay and PIP coverage pay for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
