Consumers who are new to the process of buying insurance may think purchasing low-cost 2000 insurance can be quite difficult. Finding lower is actually quite simple. You just have to spend a little time getting comparison quotes from different insurance companies. It is quite easy and can be accomplished by comparing rates here.

Premiums are calculated by these things

Car insurance premiums on a 2000 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Crash test rating for your 2000
• Your claim history
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. Newer models have a higher actual cash value than older models so repair costs are higher which can inflate annual premiums. Although new models may have safety features included like lane departure warning system, dual-stage airbags, and pedestrian detection which can lower rates.

Liability coverage - Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. Collision coverage for your 2000 can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage - This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
