Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance premiums on a 2005 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• The size of your community
• The number of annual miles
• Male rates may be higher
• The deductible you choose
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old have a much lower replacement value compared to new models so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. But newer vehicles have more advanced features including automatic crash notification, anti-lock brakes, and a backup camera which may help offset higher rates.

Liability car insurance

2005 liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

This covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. 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 lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive car insurance

This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage provides protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They can be 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 may carry a deductible.
