Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Auto insurance rates on a 2017 can be significantly different depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Higher performance 2017 vehicles cost more
• How many accidents you have had
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Claims drive up premiums
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Owning a home can lower rates

A final factor that helps determine is the model year. New vehicles cost more in comparison to later models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. Although newer vehicles may have a trim level with safety features included like dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and lane departure warning system that may help give discounted rates.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2017 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. It's also possible to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The highest amount 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 probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills (i.e. 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 not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
