Criteria which help determine

Insurance rates for a 2001 can be significantly different depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Higher performance 2001 vehicles cost more
• How many accidents you have had
• Multiple policies can save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Newer models cost more so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. Conversely, new models may have options such as all-wheel drive, a rollover prevention system, and adaptive headlights that may help lower rates.

Liability coverages - This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision - Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2001 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverages - Comprehensive insurance pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Coverage for medical payments - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
