Insurance rates on a 2011 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• More performance equals higher cost
• Accidents raise premiums
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your profession
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older models cost less so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. But new models may have options including forward-collision avoidance, automatic crash notification, and tire pressure monitors which may help offset higher rates.

Liability coverage

2011 liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2011 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
