Insurance rates on a 1997 can vary widely depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• Higher performance 1997 vehicles cost more
• Any accidents you may have
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your profession
• Your coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Models that are a few years old cost less so the cost to replace them may result in lower rates. On the flip side, newer models may have options like forward-collision avoidance, automatic crash notification, and tire pressure monitors which can give discounted rates.

Liability coverage

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage protection

This pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 1997 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout 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.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

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