What influences the rate you pay?

Insurance premiums on a 1997 will vary greatly subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• Your accident history
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Special coverage such as replacement cost
• Your job
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models have a reduced actual cash value compared to new models so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. Although newer vehicles have more advanced features included like traction control, adaptive headlights, and automatic crash notification so those may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability

1997 liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. Liability insurance covers things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as much as you can afford.

Collision protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 1997 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum amount 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 from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
