Criteria which help determine car insurance premiums

Insurance premiums paid to insure a 1999 can fluctuate considerably based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male rates may be higher
• The deductible you choose
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a much lower replacement value compared to new models so the costs to repair will push premiums down. But newer vehicles have more advanced features including adaptive cruise control, anti-lock brakes, and active head restraints which may help offset higher rates.

Liability insurance - Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This coverage covers damage to your from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive protection - This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This coverage provides protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Medical expense coverage - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible.
