Rates are determined by...

Car insurance premiums for a 2009 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

  • Higher performance 2009 vehicles cost more
  • How many accidents you have had
  • Home and auto can earn discounts
  • Use of your vehicle
  • Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
  • Your claim history
  • Having continuous coverage saves you money
  • Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher value than older models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. Although more recent vehicles may have safety features included like forward-collision avoidance, automatic crash notification, and tire pressure monitors that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverage

This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2009 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
