Insurance premiums for your 2005 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Better credit means lower rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• The deductible you choose
• Safety rating of your 2005
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models cost less compared to new models so the payout to repair may result in lower rates. But more recent vehicles have more advanced features including a telematics system, all-wheel drive, and adaptive headlights that may help help offset higher rates.

Liability - This coverage will cover damage that occurs to other's property or people in an accident. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision - Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision - Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical costs insurance - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
