Premiums are calculated by these things

Car insurance premiums for a 2001 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• The performance level of your 2001
• How many accidents you have had
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your claim history
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. Models that are new have a higher actual cash value than older models so repair costs are higher which may end up costing you more. But new models may have safety features including an advanced theft deterrent system, adaptive cruise control, active head restraints, and a telematics system that may help help offset higher rates.

Liability insurance - Liability insurance provides protection from 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. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2001 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive protection - Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Medical expense coverage - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
