Criteria which help determine

Insurance rates for a 2009 will vary greatly based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

  • Your driving record
  • Your credit history
  • Your location impacts rates
  • How many miles you drive
  • Male drivers pay higher rates
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • No coverage lapses saves money
  • Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle have a higher value so repair costs are higher which will push premiums up. Conversely, new models may have options such as tire pressure monitors, a telematics system, autonomous braking, and adaptive headlights so those may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as much as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2009 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
