Insurance rates paid to insure a 1998 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• More performance equals higher cost
• How many accidents you have had
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• How you use your vehicle
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you own your home

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 the payout to repair may end up costing you more. Conversely, new models may have options such as lane departure warning system, pedestrian detection, and tire pressure monitors that may help give discounted rates.

Liability - 1998 liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
