Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance premiums on a 2006 can vary widely depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Higher performance 2006 vehicles cost more
• Any accidents you may have
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Owning a home can lower rates

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 can inflate annual premiums. Although more recent vehicles have more advanced features included like autonomous braking, tire pressure monitors, and dual-stage airbags which can give discounted rates.

Liability coverage - This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage - Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2006 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
