What influences ?

Insurance premiums on a 2004 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• The number of annual miles
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your job
• The level of coverage
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a reduced actual cash value compared to new models so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. Conversely, newer models have more advanced features such as a telematics system, dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and a collision avoidance system which may give discounted rates.

Liability

2004 liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2004 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
