Criteria which help determine your insurance rates

Insurance rates for your 1995 can vary widely based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

  • Your driving record
  • Credit rating
  • Men typically pay more than women
  • Low deductibles cost more
  • NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • No coverage lapses saves money
  • Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. New vehicles have a higher value so repair costs are higher which can inflate annual premiums. Conversely, more recent vehicles may have options such as pedestrian detection, automatic crash notification, and tire pressure monitors which can give discounted rates.

Liability coverages - Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to other's property or people. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage - This coverage will pay to fix damage to your resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, 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 coverages - Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people 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 a good idea.

Coverage for medical payments - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are utilized in addition to 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.
