To find the best car insurance prices, there are several ways of comparing rates and find the best price. The quickest method to find competitive is to get quotes online. This can be accomplished by completing this short form.

Insurance rates on a 2004 will vary greatly based upon several criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Your driving record
• Your credit history
• Where you live
• The number of annual miles
• Male rates may be higher
• Low deductibles cost more
• Safety rating of your 2004
• Your profession
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older models cost less so the cost to replace them will push premiums down. Although newer vehicles may have options included like lane departure warning system, a telematics system, and adaptive headlights so those may give discounted rates.

Auto liability

Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. Collision coverage for your 2004 can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
