Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Car insurance premiums on a 2004 will vary greatly depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Higher performance 2004 vehicles cost more
• Your accident history
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married may save money
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your claim history
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Models that are new have a higher replacement value than older models so the cost to replace them will push premiums up. Although new models may have safety features included like forward-collision avoidance, a collision avoidance system, a backup camera, and automatic crash notification so those may help offset higher rates.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2004 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
