Insurance rates on a 2004 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Better credit means lower rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 2004
• Your profession
• Your coverage level
• Whether you own your home

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 cost less so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. On the flip side, more recent vehicles may have options like automatic crash notification, blind-spot warning system, and an advanced theft deterrent system that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverages

2004 liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision protection

This will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2004 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
