Insurance rates for a 2004 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• Higher performance 2004 vehicles cost more
• Accidents raise premiums
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Use of your vehicle
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your profession
• The level of coverage
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older cars and trucks cost less so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as active head restraints, adaptive headlights, a backup camera, and tire pressure monitors which may give discounted rates.

Liability coverage

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage covers damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. 2004 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. 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 payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
