Rates are determined by these things

Insurance premiums for a 1998 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Your location impacts rates
• How many miles you drive
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 1998
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher value compared to older models so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. Although new models have more advanced features included like an advanced theft deterrent system, all-wheel drive, and traction control which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverage

1998 liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. 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 lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. 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.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. 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 universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
