Criteria which help determine

Car insurance premiums for a 2005 will vary greatly depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Higher performance 2005 vehicles cost more
• Your accident history
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Use of your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married may save money
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your occupation
• The amount of protection requested
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a much lower replacement value than newer models so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. But new models may have safety features including a collision avoidance system, sideview assist mirrors, a backup camera, and a telematics system so those may help offset higher rates.

Liability car insurance

This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or 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 coverage protection

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2005 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive car insurance

Comprehensive insurance 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 car 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.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage provides protection when the "other guys" 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. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
