Premiums are calculated by...

Insurance premiums for a 2014 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Better credit means lower rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• Low deductibles cost more
• Crash test rating for your 2014
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old have a lower value compared to new models so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. But more recent vehicles have more advanced features including tire pressure monitors, active head restraints, and pedestrian detection that may help give discounted rates.

Liability car insurance - This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - This will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2014 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive car insurance - Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical expenses - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
