Rates are determined by these things

Insurance rates on a 2009 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

  • Traffic citations increase rates
  • Better credit means lower rates
  • Male drivers pay higher rates
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • Crash test rating for your 2009
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • Having current coverage saves
  • Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle have a higher value so the payout to repair may end up costing you more. On the flip side, new models may have options like lane departure warning system, autonomous braking, pedestrian detection, and blind-spot warning system that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability

2009 liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2009 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist 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 liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
