Finding cheaper auto insurance online is easy and there is a good chance you will probably save money. The key is to compare rates from all providers in order to have the cheapest rate quotes.

Consumers who are new to the process of shopping for insurance may think buying affordable 2001 insurance is very challenging. Finding lower is not rocket science. You just have to spend a little time comparing rates from different insurance companies. It is quite easy and can be accomplished by comparing rates here.

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2001 will vary greatly based upon several criteria. Some of these factors include:

  • Your driving record
  • Your credit history
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
  • Safety rating of your 2001
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • No coverage lapses saves money
  • Whether you own your home

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Newer models have a higher actual cash value so repair costs are higher which will push premiums up. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning system, autonomous braking, and anti-lock brakes so those may lower rates.

Liability coverage - Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This covers damage to your from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage - This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
