What influences car insurance premiums?

Car insurance premiums on a 1996 can be significantly different subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Better credit means lower rates
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• The deductible you choose
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your claim history
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Models that are new have a higher value than older models so the payout to repair may end up costing you more. Conversely, new models may have safety features such as autonomous braking, automatic crash notification, sideview assist mirrors, and adaptive headlights that may help help offset higher rates.

Auto liability - 1996 liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverages - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 1996 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto coverage - This coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage - This provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical payments and PIP coverage - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
