Car insurance premiums on a 1999 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Better credit means lower rates
• The size of your community
• The number of annual miles
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• Safety rating of your 1999
• Your claim history
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Whether you own your home

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher actual cash value than older models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. Although newer models may have safety features included like pedestrian detection, a collision avoidance system, and adaptive headlights that may help give discounted rates.

Coverage for liability

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

This pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 1999 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
