Insurance premiums paid to insure a 1998 can vary widely based upon several criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 1998
• Your job
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks cost less compared to new models so the costs to repair will push premiums down. Although new models have more advanced features included like pedestrian detection, tire pressure monitors, and autonomous braking which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. 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 insurance

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage 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 in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive protection

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 consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance 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 are not covered by health insurance. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
