Criteria which help determine

Insurance rates for a 2011 can fluctuate considerably based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you live
• How many miles you drive
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• No claims lowers premiums
• Having current coverage saves
• Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle cost more so repair costs are higher which may result in higher rates. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have options like a telematics system, adaptive cruise control, and traction control which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2011 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers 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 very important.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
