Car insurance premiums on a 1996 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• The number of annual miles
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 1996
• Your occupation
• Your coverage level
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks cost less than newer models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you less. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have safety features like active head restraints, automatic crash notification, blind-spot warning system, and adaptive cruise control which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability auto insurance

This can cover damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 1996 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
