Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance rates on a 1999 can vary widely depending on several factors. A few of these criteria are:

  • Higher performance 1999 vehicles cost more
  • Any accidents you may have
  • Whether you insure your home with the same company
  • Pleasure use vs. commuting use
  • Mature drivers pay less
  • Being married may save money
  • Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • No coverage lapses saves money
  • Owning a home can lower rates

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are new have a higher replacement value so the cost to replace them can inflate annual premiums. Conversely, new models may have options such as tire pressure monitors, autonomous braking, a collision avoidance system, and anti-lock brakes which can help offset higher rates.

Auto liability

This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage protection

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 1999 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply 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 ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills for things like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
