Rates are impacted by these factors

Insurance premiums for a 2008 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Better credit means lower rates
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• Crash test rating for your 2008
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having current coverage saves
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. New vehicles cost more compared to older models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. On the flip side, newer models have more advanced features like dual-stage airbags, all-wheel drive, blind-spot warning system, and tire pressure monitors that may help give discounted rates.

Auto liability - This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - Collision insurance pays for damage to your caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2008 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive auto coverage - Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Medical payments and PIP coverage - Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
