Which factors influence ?

Insurance premiums for your 1998 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Taken into consideration are:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Your location impacts rates
• High miles vs. low miles
• Male rates may be higher
• Low deductibles cost more
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your job
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you rent or own your home

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a reduced actual cash value compared to new models so the payout to repair may result in lower rates. Although newer vehicles have more advanced features included like traction control, active head restraints, a backup camera, and an advanced theft deterrent system which may give discounted rates.

Liability coverages

This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other's property or people. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

This coverage covers damage to your resulting from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Coverage for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
