Insurance premiums on a 2009 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 2009
• Your job
• Your coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Used vehicles cost less compared to new models so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. On the flip side, newer vehicles have more advanced features like adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning system which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability - This coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This coverage covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2009 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) - This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Insurance for medical payments - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
