Rates are determined by the following

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2004 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• Higher performance 2004 vehicles cost more
• How many accidents you have had
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• How you use your vehicle
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your occupation
• Insurance coverage level
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a lower value than newer models so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. Although newer vehicles may have safety features included like pedestrian detection, dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and automatic crash notification that may help give discounted rates.

Liability - This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverages - This coverage covers damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
