Criteria which help determine

Insurance rates for a 2000 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. A few of these criteria are:

  • More performance equals higher cost
  • Accidents raise premiums
  • Multiple policies can save money
  • Use of your vehicle
  • Mature drivers pay less
  • Having a spouse can save money
  • Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • Having continuous coverage saves you 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. New vehicles cost more so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. Although new models may have options included like pedestrian detection, a collision avoidance system, and adaptive headlights which may give discounted rates.

Coverage for liability

2000 liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. 2000 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
