Premiums are calculated by these things

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 1996 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Better credit means lower rates
• The size of your community
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Crash test rating for your 1996
• Your claim history
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher actual cash value than older models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. Conversely, new models may have safety features such as lane departure warning system, dual-stage airbags, and sideview assist mirrors that may help provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverage

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
