Rates are impacted by these factors

Insurance rates on a 1998 can fluctuate considerably and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you live
• The number of annual miles
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 1998
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle cost more so the costs to repair may result in higher rates. Conversely, newer models may have options such as a collision avoidance system, all-wheel drive, a telematics system, and tire pressure monitors which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability insurance

This protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. 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 vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
