Premiums are calculated by these things

Insurance rates for your 2005 can vary widely depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating
• The size of your community
• High miles vs. low miles
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 2005
• Your profession
• The amount of protection requested
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are a few years old have a lower value so the payout to repair may result in lower rates. But new models may have options including a telematics system, dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and a collision avoidance system which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other's property or people 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 purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. 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.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
