Criteria which help determine car insurance premiums

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2005 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• How many accidents you have had
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• How you use your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• No claims lowers premiums
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. New vehicles have a higher replacement value so the payout to repair may end up costing you more. But new models may have options including anti-lock brakes, pedestrian detection, active head restraints, and an advanced theft deterrent system that may help give discounted rates.

Liability coverage - 2005 liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision - Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
