To find the best car insurance prices, there are several ways to compare rate quotes from different insurance companies. By far the easiest way to find competitive is to perform an online rate comparison. It is quite easy and can be accomplished by completing this short form.

What factors impact the rate you pay?

Insurance rates for a 2000 will vary greatly based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Your driving record
• Your credit history
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your profession
• The level of coverage
• Whether you rent or own your home

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are a few years old have a reduced actual cash value so repair costs tend to be lower which will push premiums down. Conversely, new models may have options such as a telematics system, a collision avoidance system, tire pressure monitors, and traction control so those may give discounted rates.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property that is your fault. Liability insurance covers things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2000 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
