What factors impact ?

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

• Your driving record
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• How many miles you drive
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Whether or not you have claims
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value compared to older models so repair costs are higher which may result in higher rates. Conversely, newer vehicles have more advanced features such as lane departure warning system, a telematics system, and adaptive headlights which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability

Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your 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 lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
