Insurance rates on a 2004 can fluctuate considerably based upon several criteria. Some of these factors include:

• The performance level of your 2004
• Accidents raise premiums
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Young drivers cost more
• Being married may save money
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your profession
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older models cost less so the cost to replace them will push premiums down. Although more recent vehicles may have options included like tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, active head restraints, and adaptive cruise control which may help offset higher rates.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder. Collision coverage for your 2004 can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
