Rates are impacted by these things

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2008 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 2008
• Your claim history
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle cost more than older models so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. But new models may have safety features including anti-lock brakes, blind-spot warning system, an advanced theft deterrent system, and adaptive headlights which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability insurance - 2008 liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive insurance - This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
