Criteria which help determine

Car insurance premiums for a 2001 can vary widely based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• The performance level of your 2001
• Any accidents you may have
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Use of your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Whether you are married
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your claim history
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Newer models have a higher value than older models so repair costs are higher which can inflate annual premiums. Although new models may have safety features included like traction control, pedestrian detection, autonomous braking, and adaptive headlights which can lower rates.

Liability auto insurance - Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverages - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2001 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) - Comprehensive insurance pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people 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 is a good idea.

Medical expense insurance - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are often used to fill the gap from your 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.
