Premiums are calculated by the following

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2001 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
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 2001
• Your claim history
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher actual cash value than older models so the cost to replace them can inflate annual premiums. But newer vehicles may have safety features including automatic crash notification, blind-spot warning system, and an advanced theft deterrent system which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverages

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their 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 you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision protection

This covers damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
