Criteria which help determine

Car insurance premiums for a 1998 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

• High performance increases premiums
• Accidents raise premiums
• Multiple policies can save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your occupation
• The amount of protection requested
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. Older models have a much lower replacement value than newer models so repair costs tend to be lower which may end up costing you less. But newer vehicles may have safety features including forward-collision avoidance, tire pressure monitors, and autonomous braking which may help offset higher rates.

Liability coverage

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. 1998 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage

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

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage provides protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible.
