What factors impact ?

Insurance rates for a 1996 can fluctuate considerably based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• The performance level of your 1996
• Accidents raise premiums
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Having a spouse can save money
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Your profession
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you rent or own your home

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are a few years old have a reduced actual cash value so repair costs tend to be lower which will push premiums down. Although new models may have options included like a telematics system, adaptive cruise control, and traction control which may give discounted rates.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property that is your fault. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder. 1996 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
