Insurance premiums paid to insure a 2004 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Better credit means lower rates
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • Safety rating of your 2004
  • Whether or not you have claims
  • Having continuous coverage saves you money
  • Whether you own your home

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle cost more compared to older models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. Although newer vehicles have more advanced features included like tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, lane departure warning system, and adaptive cruise control that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverages - This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - Collision insurance covers damage to your from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages - This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Coverage for medical payments - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
