Insurance rates on a 2008 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• The deductible you choose
• Safety rating of your 2008
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are new have a higher value so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. Conversely, newer models may have options such as anti-lock brakes, adaptive headlights, blind-spot warning system, and a backup camera which may help offset higher rates.

Coverage for liability - This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverages - This coverage pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2008 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) - This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Insurance for medical payments - Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible.
