Car insurance rates influenced by...

Insurance rates on a 2000 will vary greatly and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• High performance increases premiums
• Your accident history
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• No claims lowers premiums
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. New vehicles have a higher replacement value so the costs to repair will push premiums up. But more recent vehicles may have options including pedestrian detection, tire pressure monitors, and autonomous braking so those may give discounted rates.

Liability insurance

This will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2000 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
