The are a couple different ways of comparing rates from different insurance companies. The easiest way by far to find the lowest is to perform an online rate comparison. This can be accomplished by visiting this page.

Insurance premiums paid to insure a 1999 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 1999
• Your job
• The level of coverage
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old cost less compared to new models so the costs to repair will push premiums down. Conversely, newer vehicles have more advanced features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, and pedestrian detection which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability insurance

Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so buy higher limits if possible.

Collision protection

This covers damage to your from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
