Criteria which help determine

Car insurance premiums for a 1996 will vary greatly depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Your credit history
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your occupation
• Insurance coverage level
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a much lower replacement value than newer models so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. Although new models may have safety features included like pedestrian detection, automatic crash notification, and tire pressure monitors so those may give discounted rates.

Liability coverages - This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 1996 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages - Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Coverage for medical payments - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
