Insurance premiums for your 1999 can vary widely depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

  • Higher performance 1999 vehicles cost more
  • Any accidents you may have
  • Whether you insure your home with the same company
  • Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
  • Extra coverages like towing and rental
  • Your job
  • Your coverage level
  • Whether you own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks cost less compared to new models so the payout to repair may result in lower rates. On the flip side, more recent vehicles have more advanced features like traction control, active head restraints, a backup camera, and an advanced theft deterrent system which can give discounted rates.

Liability coverages

This coverage will cover damage that occurs to other's property or people by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible 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. It's also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. 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

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
