Criteria which help determine

Car insurance premiums for a 1993 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. A few of these criteria are:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Credit rating
• Your location impacts rates
• How many miles you drive
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• The deductible you choose
• NTSB crash rating for your vehicle
• Your claim history
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Models that are new have a higher value than older models so the costs to repair can inflate annual premiums. Conversely, new models may have safety features such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, and lane departure warning system which can help offset higher rates.

Coverage for liability

This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. It is cheap coverage so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. 1993 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
