What factors impact car insurance premiums?

Auto insurance rates paid to insure a 1996 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Your driving record
• Better credit means lower rates
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Claims drive up premiums
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Whether you rent or own your home

A final factor that helps determine is the model year. A newer vehicle cost more in comparison to later models so repair costs are higher which may end up costing you more. Although newer vehicles may have a trim level with safety features included like lane departure warning system, a collision avoidance system, a rollover prevention system, and an advanced theft deterrent system that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability auto insurance - Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Collision - Collision insurance covers damage to your from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) - This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM Coverage - This gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical expense insurance - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses (i.e. doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses). The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
