Criteria which help determine

Auto insurance rates for a 2001 can vary widely subject to many criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• Any accidents you may have
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Use of your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• What you do for a living
• The amount of protection requested
• Owning a home can lower rates

A final factor that can impact is the model year. Used vehicles have a much lower replacement value in comparison to older models so repair costs tend to be lower which can decrease annual premiums. But newer models may have a trim level with safety features including anti-lock brakes, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous braking which can give discounted rates.

Liability

2001 liability coverage protects you 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. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so consider buying higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays for damage to your caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. 2001 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It's also possible to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" do not carry enough liability coverage. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills (i.e. ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits). They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
