Car insurance premiums for a 2013 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Some of these factors include:

• The performance level of your 2013
• How many accidents you have had
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Use of your vehicle
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your occupation
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks cost less than newer models so repair costs tend to be lower which will push premiums down. Although newer vehicles may have safety features included like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning system, autonomous braking, and anti-lock brakes that may help help offset higher rates.

Liability coverage - Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - Collision coverage covers damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2013 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage - Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, 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 short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They 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 and may carry a deductible.
