Premiums are calculated by the following

Insurance premiums on a 2000 can vary widely depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Credit rating
  • Male rates may be higher
  • The deductible you choose
  • Crash test rating for your 2000
  • Whether or not you have claims
  • Maintaining coverage lowers rates
  • Home ownership saves money

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. Models that are new have a higher actual cash value compared to older models so the cost to replace them can inflate annual premiums. But newer vehicles have more advanced features including active head restraints, an advanced theft deterrent system, and lane departure warning system which can help offset higher rates.

Liability auto insurance - This coverage can cover 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. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage - This covers damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2000 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) - This coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible.
