Criteria which help determine

Insurance rates for a 1996 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

• High performance increases premiums
• Accidents raise premiums
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Use of your vehicle
• Your birth date
• Having a spouse can save money
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your profession
• The level of coverage
• Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Used vehicles have a much lower replacement value so repair costs tend to be lower which may end up costing you less. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as forward-collision avoidance, a telematics system, tire pressure monitors, and autonomous braking which may give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision protection

This coverage covers damage to your caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. 1996 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
