Rates are impacted by the following

Insurance rates for your 1996 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

  • Traffic citations increase rates
  • Credit rating impacts rates
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Low deductibles cost more
  • Crash test rating for your 1996
  • Your profession
  • Your coverage level
  • Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older models have a lower value so the payout to repair can decrease annual premiums. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have options like all-wheel drive, a rollover prevention system, and adaptive headlights which may give discounted rates.

Liability coverages - 1996 liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other's property or people in an accident. 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 purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision - Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages - Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM Coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Coverage for medical payments - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
