Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance premiums on 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
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Your age
• Having a spouse can save money
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your job
• Your coverage level
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models have a much lower replacement value compared to new models so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. On the flip side, newer models have more advanced features like active head restraints, automatic crash notification, blind-spot warning system, and adaptive cruise control which may give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance

2000 liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other 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 buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays for damage to your resulting from a 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. Collision coverage for your 2000 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

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

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Medical expense insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
