What influences your insurance rates?

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2015 can vary widely subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

  • Traffic citations increase rates
  • Credit rating
  • Men typically pay more than women
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • Your vehicle's safety rating
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • Maintaining coverage lowers rates
  • Whether you rent or 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 payout to repair can inflate annual premiums. But more recent vehicles may have options including adaptive headlights, blind-spot warning system, and a rollover prevention system which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability

2015 liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

This will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This gives you protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Medical costs insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses for things like 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 there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
