Rates are impacted by these things

Insurance rates for your 2004 can fluctuate considerably based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you live
• High miles vs. low miles
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• The deductible you choose
• Crash test rating for your 2004
• No claims lowers premiums
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are new cost more so repair costs are higher which may result in higher rates. Although new models may have options included like a rollover prevention system, a backup camera, a telematics system, and adaptive cruise control which may help offset higher rates.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other's property or people in an accident. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the 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

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
