Car insurance rates influenced by the following

Insurance rates for a 1998 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• High performance increases premiums
• Any accidents you may have
• Whether you insure your home with the same company
• Use of your vehicle
• Your birth date
• Being married can lower rates
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• No claims lowers premiums
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value so the costs to repair can inflate annual premiums. But newer vehicles may have options including a backup camera, autonomous braking, active head restraints, and all-wheel drive which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability auto insurance

This can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. 1998 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
