Criteria which help determine car insurance premiums

Insurance premiums paid to insure a BMW Coupe can vary widely based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• The performance level of your Coupe
• Any accidents you may have
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• How you use your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a much lower replacement value compared to new Coupe models so the costs to repair will push premiums down. But new Coupe models have more advanced features including lane departure warning system, anti-lock brakes, and adaptive headlights which can lower rates.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages

This pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
