Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2008 can vary widely depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• Higher performance 2008 vehicles cost more
• Any accidents you may have
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• How you use your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Having a spouse can save money
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your claim history
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher actual cash value than older models so the cost to replace them can inflate annual premiums. Conversely, new models may have safety features such as forward-collision avoidance, a collision avoidance system, a backup camera, and automatic crash notification which can give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
