Insurance premiums on a 1997 can be significantly different and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• High performance increases premiums
• How many accidents you have had
• Multiple policies can save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your job
• Your coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models cost less compared to new models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you less. On the flip side, newer models have more advanced features like traction control, active head restraints, a backup camera, and an advanced theft deterrent system that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverages

This protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 1997 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Coverage for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
