Car insurance rates influenced by...

Car insurance premiums paid to insure 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
  • Whether you insure your home with the same company
  • How you use your vehicle
  • Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
  • Your claim history
  • No coverage lapses saves money
  • Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value than older models so repair costs are higher which may end up costing you more. Conversely, more recent vehicles may have safety features such as tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, lane departure warning system, and adaptive cruise control that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverages - Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. 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 coverage - Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverages - This will pay to fix 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 the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. 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.

Coverage for medical payments - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
