Insurance premiums on a 2005 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• High performance increases premiums
• Accidents raise premiums
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married may save money
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your job
• Your coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models cost less compared to new models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you less. On the flip side, new models have more advanced features like a telematics system, a collision avoidance system, tire pressure monitors, and traction control which may help offset higher rates.

Coverage for liability

This provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2005 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
