Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance rates on a 1996 can vary widely depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• The number of annual miles
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your profession
• The level of coverage
• Owning a home can lower rates

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 much lower replacement value so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. Conversely, new models may have options such as adaptive cruise control, sideview assist mirrors, and tire pressure monitors which can give discounted rates.

Liability car insurance

This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 1996 can be pricey, so you might think about 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 car insurance

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. 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.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
