Criteria which help determine your insurance rates

Insurance premiums for your 2001 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• The performance level of your 2001
• How many accidents you have had
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
• Young drivers cost more
• Having a spouse can save money
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. New vehicles cost more compared to older models so repair costs are higher which may end up costing you more. Although more recent vehicles have more advanced features included like lane departure warning system, a collision avoidance system, a rollover prevention system, and an advanced theft deterrent system that may help give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance - Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to other's property or people in an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision - Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) - Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical expense insurance - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
