What influences car insurance premiums?

Insurance rates for a 2006 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Better credit means lower rates
• The size of your community
• How many miles you drive
• Male rates may be higher
• The deductible you choose
• 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. Models that are new have a higher actual cash value so the payout to repair may end up costing you more. But newer vehicles may have options including an advanced theft deterrent system, forward-collision avoidance, and a backup camera that may help help offset higher rates.

Liability insurance

2006 liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage protection

This covers damage to your caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. 2006 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance covers 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 highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This provides protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Medical expense coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible.
