Insurance premiums on a 2005 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Better credit means lower rates
• Your location impacts rates
• The number of annual miles
• Male rates may be higher
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Safety rating of your 2005
• Your job
• Your coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Used vehicles cost less compared to new models so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. On the flip side, newer vehicles have more advanced features like lane departure warning system, a telematics system, and adaptive headlights that may help lower rates.

Auto liability

2005 liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. 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 buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage

This coverage covers 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 2005 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
