Car insurance premiums for a 2005 will vary greatly subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Your credit history
• Your location impacts rates
• How many miles you drive
• Men typically pay more than women
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 2005
• Your claim history
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher value than older models so the payout to repair will push premiums up. But more recent vehicles may have safety features including autonomous braking, a telematics system, a collision avoidance system, and a rollover prevention system so those may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverage

2005 liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property. Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy as much as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. 2005 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
