Insurance rates paid to insure a 2009 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you live
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• The deductible you choose
• Safety rating of your 2009
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are new cost more so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. Conversely, newer models may have options such as a collision avoidance system, all-wheel drive, a telematics system, and tire pressure monitors which may help offset higher rates.

Auto liability insurance

2009 liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance pays for damage to your from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible.
