Car insurance rates influenced by these things

Car insurance premiums on a 1996 can vary widely subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

  • Traffic citations increase rates
  • Credit rating
  • Where you reside can make a big difference
  • The number of annual miles
  • Male drivers pay higher rates
  • Low deductibles cost more
  • Crash test rating for your 1996
  • Your occupation
  • Your coverage level
  • Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that will help determine is the year of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a lower value than newer models so the cost to replace them can decrease annual premiums. On the flip side, new models may have safety features like traction control, active head restraints, a backup camera, and an advanced theft deterrent system which can give discounted rates.

Liability coverages

1996 liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 1996 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
