Car insurance premiums on a 2000 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• High performance increases premiums
• Any accidents you may have
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your claim history
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. Models that are new cost more than older models so the costs to repair can inflate annual premiums. But newer models may have safety features including active head restraints, an advanced theft deterrent system, dual-stage airbags, and sideview assist mirrors which can help offset higher rates.

Liability insurance

This protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision protection

Collision insurance pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2000 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive protection

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the "other guys" do not carry enough liability coverage. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical expense coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible.
