Premiums are calculated by these things

Insurance premiums paid to insure a 1996 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Credit rating impacts rates
  • Male drivers pay higher rates
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • Crash test rating for your 1996
  • Whether or not you have claims
  • No coverage lapses saves money
  • Home ownership saves money

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher actual cash value compared to older models so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. Conversely, new models have more advanced features such as dual-stage airbags, a telematics system, and pedestrian detection which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability car insurance - This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto insurance - This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical expenses - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
