Insurance rates for your 1998 can be significantly different and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Better credit means lower rates
• Where you live
• High miles vs. low miles
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 1998
• No claims lowers premiums
• Having current coverage saves
• Whether you own your home

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 costs to repair may end up costing you more. On the flip side, newer models may have options like tire pressure monitors, a telematics system, autonomous braking, and adaptive headlights that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverages

This protects you from damage that occurs to other's property or people 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 purchase as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays for damage to your resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. 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.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

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 for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your 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.
