Insurance rates for your 2005 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Better credit means lower rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• The deductible you choose
• Safety rating of your 2005
• Your profession
• Your 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 payout to repair can decrease annual premiums. On the flip side, more recent vehicles may have options like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, and pedestrian detection that may help help offset higher rates.

Auto liability insurance

2005 liability 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. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
