Rates are impacted by these factors

Insurance rates paid to insure a 1998 can vary widely subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 1998
• No claims lowers premiums
• Having current coverage saves
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle cost more so the payout to repair can inflate annual premiums. On the flip side, newer models may have options like active head restraints, adaptive headlights, a backup camera, and tire pressure monitors which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverage

1998 liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance pays for damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist 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, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
