Car insurance rates influenced by these factors

Car insurance premiums for a 1999 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Including but not limited to:

• The performance level of your 1999
• Any accidents you may have
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Use of your vehicle
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your occupation
• Your coverage level
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a lower value than newer models so repair costs tend to be lower which will push premiums down. On the flip side, newer models may have safety features like traction control, tire pressure monitors, a collision avoidance system, and a telematics system which can lower rates.

Liability

Liability insurance protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 1999 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
