Car insurance rates influenced by these things

Car insurance premiums on a 1997 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Better credit means lower rates
  • Where you reside can make a big difference
  • The number of annual miles
  • Male drivers pay higher rates
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • Crash test rating for your 1997
  • Your claim history
  • No coverage lapses saves money
  • Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value than older models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. Conversely, new models may have safety features such as autonomous braking, tire pressure monitors, and lane departure warning system that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage protection

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 1997 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
