Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2004 can vary widely depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 2004
• Your claim history
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value than older models so the cost to replace them can inflate annual premiums. Conversely, newer vehicles may have safety features such as adaptive headlights, blind-spot warning system, and a rollover prevention system which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage covers damage to your from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they 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. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
