Car insurance premiums for your 2001 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• Higher performance 2001 vehicles cost more
• Accidents raise premiums
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your occupation
• Your coverage level
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Used vehicles cost less than newer models so the payout to repair may result in lower rates. On the flip side, new models may have safety features like adaptive headlights, anti-lock brakes, traction control, and a telematics system which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverages

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other's property or people. 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 you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies 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 older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. 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.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
