Insurance premiums for your 2007 can be significantly different and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Better credit means lower rates
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• High miles vs. low miles
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 2007
• Whether or not you have claims
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value compared to older models so the costs to repair may end up costing you more. But new models have more advanced features including a telematics system, dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and a collision avoidance system that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability

This provides protection from damage that occurs to other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many 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 is important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
