Insurance rates paid to insure a 1997 will vary greatly depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Your credit history
• Male rates may be higher
• The deductible you choose
• Safety rating of your 1997
• Your profession
• The level of coverage
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older cars and trucks cost less so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as pedestrian detection, tire pressure monitors, and autonomous braking so those may help offset higher rates.

Liability insurance

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage covers damage to your from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive protection

This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible.
