Car insurance premiums for your 2018 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• High performance increases premiums
• Accidents raise premiums
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your claim history
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value than older models so the costs to repair may result in higher rates. But new models may have safety features including anti-lock brakes, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous braking which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability

This provides protection from damage that occurs to other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that 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 important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
