Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Insurance premiums on a 1998 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you live
• The number of annual miles
• Male rates may be higher
• Low deductibles cost more
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your job
• Your coverage level
• Owning a home can lower rates

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models have a much lower replacement value compared to new models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you less. On the flip side, newer vehicles have more advanced features like a backup camera, autonomous braking, active head restraints, and all-wheel drive which may give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. Liability can pay for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 1998 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills like ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
