Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance premiums on a 2009 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• How many accidents you have had
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. Newer models have a higher actual cash value compared to older models so the payout to repair may end up costing you more. Although newer vehicles have more advanced features included like automatic crash notification, blind-spot warning system, and an advanced theft deterrent system that may help lower rates.

Liability coverages

2009 liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision protection

This covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. 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 lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
