Criteria which help determine

Auto insurance rates for a 2006 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• The performance level of your 2006
• How many accidents you have had
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Use of your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Claims drive up premiums
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Owning a home can lower rates

A final factor that will help determine is the model year. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value in comparison to later models so repair costs are higher which may end up costing you more. Although newer vehicles may have a trim level with safety features included like lane departure warning system, traction control, and autonomous braking that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverage

Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2006 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills (i.e. ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits). The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
