What factors impact your insurance rates?

Car insurance premiums for a 1998 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating
• Male rates may be higher
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your claim history
• Having current coverage saves
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. Newer models cost more than older models so repair costs are higher which can inflate annual premiums. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have safety features like active head restraints, adaptive headlights, a backup camera, and tire pressure monitors which can lower rates.

Liability coverage

Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your caused by collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 1998 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This protects you and your vehicle's occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
