What influences ?

Auto insurance rates for a 1998 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Claims drive up premiums
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Whether you rent or own your home

A final factor that can impact is the model year. A newer vehicle have a higher value in comparison to later models so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. Although newer vehicles may have a trim level with safety features included like a telematics system, a collision avoidance system, tire pressure monitors, and traction control which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability

1998 liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision insurance

This coverage covers damage to your caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. 1998 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses (i.e. doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses). The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
