Rates are determined by these things

Insurance rates for a 1998 can be significantly different based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• The performance level of your 1998
• How many accidents you have had
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Use of your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married can lower rates
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your profession
• The amount of protection requested
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Used vehicles have a lower value so repair costs tend to be lower which will push premiums down. But new models may have options including a telematics system, lane departure warning system, and tire pressure monitors that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability car insurance - Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverages - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 1998 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive car insurance - Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Coverage for medical expenses - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
