Auto insurance rates for a 2001 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• Higher performance 2001 vehicles cost more
• How many accidents you have had
• Multiple policies can save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Having a spouse can save money
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• What you do for a living
• The level of coverage
• Whether you own your home

A final factor that helps determine is the model year. Older models cost less in comparison to older models so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. Conversely, new models may have a trim level with safety features such as lane departure warning system, autonomous braking, pedestrian detection, and blind-spot warning system that may help give discounted rates.

Auto liability

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Collision protection

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2001 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. It's also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses (i.e. nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work). They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
