Criteria which help determine MINI insurance rates

Insurance rates on a MINI Cooper Roadster can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

  • Tickets increase premiums
  • Credit rating impacts rates
  • Men typically pay more than women
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • Maintaining coverage lowers rates
  • Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your MINI is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle cost more so the costs to repair may result in higher rates. But more recent MINI vehicles may have options including lane departure warning system, autonomous braking, pedestrian detection, and blind-spot warning system which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

To get more specific information about how rates are influenced for your specific model year, select the year of your vehicle from the following list.

Auto liability

This will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your MINI resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your Cooper Roadster can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
