Premiums are calculated by the following

Insurance premiums paid to insure a 1995 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

  • Higher performance 1995 vehicles cost more
  • Accidents raise premiums
  • Home/auto policy bundles save money
  • How you use your vehicle
  • Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
  • Your job
  • The amount of protection requested
  • Home ownership saves money

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old have a lower value compared to new models so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. But newer vehicles have more advanced features including adaptive headlights, anti-lock brakes, traction control, and a telematics system which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverages

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

This covers damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
