Insurance premiums for your BMW 1 Series can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• More performance equals higher cost
• How many accidents you have had
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married can lower rates
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your job
• The level of coverage
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks cost less compared to new 1 Series models so the payout to repair can decrease annual premiums. Conversely, new 1 Series models have more advanced features such as pedestrian detection, a collision avoidance system, and adaptive headlights that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability

BMW 1 Series liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

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

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they 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 liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
