Car insurance rates influenced by these things

Auto insurance rates for a 2001 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• The performance level of your 2001
• Any accidents you may have
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Use of your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married may save money
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• What you do for a living
• The level of coverage
• Home ownership saves money

A final factor that will help determine is the model year. Older cars and trucks have a lower value in comparison to older models so repair costs tend to be lower which will push premiums down. Conversely, new models may have a trim level with safety features such as dual-stage airbags, a telematics system, and pedestrian detection which can help offset higher rates.

Liability car insurance - Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so consider buying higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage - Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2001 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive car insurance - Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum payout your car 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.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for medical expenses - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses (i.e. EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services). They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
