Premiums are calculated by the following

Insurance premiums paid to insure a 2014 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• The size of your community
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Male rates may be higher
• Low deductibles cost more
• Crash test rating for your 2014
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old have a lower value compared to new models so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. But newer vehicles have more advanced features including autonomous braking, tire pressure monitors, and lane departure warning system which may give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

This covers damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This 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 most your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
