What influences your insurance rates?

Auto insurance rates on a 1999 can vary widely subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• What you do for a living
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you rent or own your home

A final factor that helps determine is the model year. Older models have a reduced actual cash value in comparison to older models so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. But newer vehicles may have a trim level with safety features including forward-collision avoidance, a telematics system, tire pressure monitors, and autonomous braking which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability auto insurance

1999 liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so consider buying higher limits if possible.

Collision protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 1999 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This gives you protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses (i.e. doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses). The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
