Comparing auto insurance by getting online quotes can be fast and easy and there is a good chance you will probably save money. The most important part is to compare rates from as many companies as possible so you can compare every option.

If you've never shopped for auto insurance online, you can be overwhelmed by the hoards of online auto insurance companies and websites competing for your business. Finding a lower price on 2001 insurance can be relatively painless. You just have to take a little time comparing rates provided by online insurance companies. This can be done by visiting this page.

Insurance rates for your 2001 will vary greatly depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Your credit history
  • Your location impacts rates
  • High miles vs. low miles
  • Your gender can raise or lower rates
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • Safety rating of your 2001
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • Maintaining coverage lowers rates
  • Whether you own your home

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle have a higher value so the cost to replace them will push premiums up. But newer models may have options including a telematics system, dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and a collision avoidance system so those may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other's property or people. Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage

This coverage pays for damage to your resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" do not carry enough liability coverage. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
