Criteria which help determine car insurance premiums

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2004 can be significantly different depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Higher performance 2004 vehicles cost more
• How many accidents you have had
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• How you use your vehicle
• Young drivers cost more
• Having a spouse can save money
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your profession
• Insurance coverage level
• Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Used vehicles have a much lower replacement value so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. Although more recent vehicles may have options included like tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, active head restraints, and adaptive cruise control that may help give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about 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 (Other than Collision)

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
