Car insurance rates influenced by these factors

Insurance premiums for your 2000 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• The performance level of your 2000
• Any accidents you may have
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
• Your age
• Having a spouse can save money
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your job
• The level of coverage
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a lower value compared to new models so the payout to repair will push premiums down. Conversely, newer models have more advanced features such as tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, active head restraints, and adaptive cruise control which can give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance protects you from damage or injury you incur to other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage pays for damage to your resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
