Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance premiums on a 2004 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Credit rating
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• The number of annual miles
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having current coverage saves
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value compared to older models so the costs to repair can inflate annual premiums. On the flip side, newer vehicles have more advanced features like a backup camera, autonomous braking, active head restraints, and all-wheel drive which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability auto insurance

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2004 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
