Insurance rates for a 1998 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Safety rating of your 1998
• No claims lowers premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Newer models have a higher actual cash value so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. Conversely, more recent vehicles may have options such as forward-collision avoidance, a collision avoidance system, a backup camera, and automatic crash notification which may lower rates.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision insurance

This will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. 1998 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays for 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 most you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
