Criteria which help determine insurance rates

Car insurance premiums on a 1998 can vary widely subject to many criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• More performance equals higher cost
• Any accidents you may have
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your claim history
• Having current coverage saves
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher value than older models so the payout to repair can inflate annual premiums. On the flip side, newer models may have safety features like traction control, adaptive headlights, and automatic crash notification which can give discounted rates.

Liability

1998 liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision protection

This coverage pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 1998 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Because many people 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 a good idea.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
