Criteria which help determine

Car insurance premiums for a 2005 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

• High performance increases premiums
• Accidents raise premiums
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Use of your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your occupation
• The level of coverage
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a much lower replacement value than newer models so repair costs tend to be lower which may end up costing you less. Conversely, more recent vehicles may have safety features such as blind-spot warning system, a telematics system, forward-collision avoidance, and a rollover prevention system which may give discounted rates.

Auto liability insurance

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

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your caused by 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. 2005 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
