Comparing auto insurance through online providers is simple to do, plus you might just save a little. The critical component is to get rates from as many companies as possible in order to have every company's rates.

Using the web to shop for auto insurance direct can be difficult if you have never used online quoting. Don't let that stop you because comparing prices is actually very simple. Getting lower is surprisingly easy. The only thing you need to do is invest a little time to get quotes online with multiple companies. This can be done by comparing rates here.

Rates are determined by...

Auto insurance rates for your 1995 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

  • Traffic citations increase rates
  • Credit rating impacts rates
  • Your location impacts rates
  • High miles vs. low miles
  • Men typically pay more than women
  • Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
  • Crash test rating for your 1995
  • Claims drive up premiums
  • Having current coverage saves
  • Home ownership saves money

A final factor that can impact is the model year. Newer models have a higher value in comparison to later models so the payout to repair may result in higher rates. On the flip side, more recent vehicles may have a trim level with safety features like tire pressure monitors, sideview assist mirrors, active head restraints, and adaptive cruise control which may lower rates.

Liability auto insurance

1995 liability coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to other's property or people. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses (i.e. EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services). They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
