Criteria which help determine

Insurance premiums for a 2004 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Higher performance 2004 vehicles cost more
• Accidents raise premiums
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher actual cash value compared to older models so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. Although new models have more advanced features included like tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, lane departure warning system, and adaptive cruise control which may give discounted rates.

Liability coverages - This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. 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 lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages - Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical payments - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
