Insurance rates on a 2012 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Better credit means lower rates
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 2012
• No claims lowers premiums
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle have a higher actual cash value so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. But newer vehicles may have options including anti-lock brakes, blind-spot warning system, an advanced theft deterrent system, and adaptive headlights that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability insurance - This coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - This covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2012 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive insurance - This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
