Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2004 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• Higher performance 2004 vehicles cost more
• How many accidents you have had
• Multiple policies can save money
• How you use your vehicle
• Young drivers cost more
• Whether you are married
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your occupation
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. Older models cost less than newer models so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. Although more recent vehicles may have safety features included like lane departure warning system, autonomous braking, pedestrian detection, and blind-spot warning system that may help lower rates.

Auto liability

This coverage will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with another car or object. 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 older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive auto coverage

This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are often 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 and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
