Reducing your can be relatively painless. All that's required is to spend a few minutes on the computer comparing rates online with multiple companies. It is quite easy and can be accomplished by comparing rates here.

Premiums are calculated by these things

Insurance rates on a 2010 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Better credit means lower rates
• The size of your community
• The number of annual miles
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Crash test rating for your 2010
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Newer models have a higher actual cash value so the payout to repair may end up costing you more. Conversely, new models may have options such as blind-spot warning system, dual-stage airbags, and automatic crash notification that may help lower rates.

Liability

2010 liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2010 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
