What influences ?

Car insurance premiums on a 2005 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male rates may be higher
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your occupation
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old have a reduced actual cash value than newer models so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. But newer vehicles may have safety features including anti-lock brakes, pedestrian detection, active head restraints, and an advanced theft deterrent system which may lower rates.

Liability coverage - 2005 liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision - This covers damage to your resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2005 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage - This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM Coverage - This protects you and your vehicle's occupants when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
