Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Car insurance premiums on a 1990 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

  • Tickets increase premiums
  • Credit rating
  • Male drivers pay higher rates
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
  • Your claim history
  • Maintaining coverage lowers rates
  • Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher value than older models so the costs to repair can inflate annual premiums. But new models may have safety features including a telematics system, all-wheel drive, and adaptive headlights which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability - This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 1990 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision - This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage - This coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
