Premiums are calculated by these factors

Insurance rates for your 2005 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• Crash test rating for your 2005
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. New vehicles have a higher actual cash value so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. Conversely, newer models may have options such as adaptive cruise control, anti-lock brakes, and active head restraints which may give discounted rates.

Liability insurance - 2005 liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other's property or people that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This pays for damage to your resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive protection - Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense coverage - Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
