Car insurance rates influenced by these things

Insurance premiums for your 1995 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

  • Higher performance 1995 vehicles cost more
  • Accidents raise premiums
  • Whether you insure your home with the same company
  • Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
  • Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
  • Your job
  • The amount of protection requested
  • Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a lower value compared to new models so the payout to repair may result in lower rates. But new models have more advanced features including pedestrian detection, automatic crash notification, and tire pressure monitors which may lower rates.

Liability coverages - This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages - Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for medical payments - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
