Car insurance rates influenced by...

Insurance rates paid to insure a 1998 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• The performance level of your 1998
• Any accidents you may have
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• How you use your vehicle
• Young drivers cost more
• Having a spouse can save money
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your profession
• The level of coverage
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older cars and trucks have a lower value so the costs to repair will push premiums down. Conversely, more recent vehicles may have options such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, and lane departure warning system which can give discounted rates.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
