Insurance rates on a 2005 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• High performance increases premiums
• Any accidents you may have
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your profession
• The amount of protection requested
• 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 may end up costing you less. But new models may have options including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, and pedestrian detection which can give discounted rates.

Auto liability insurance

This provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision protection

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2005 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
