What influences the rate you pay?

Auto insurance rates for your 1990 will vary greatly subject to many criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Your credit history
• Where you live
• High miles vs. low miles
• Your gender can raise or lower rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Claims drive up premiums
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Whether you rent or own your home

A final factor that helps determine is the model year. A newer vehicle cost more in comparison to later models so the payout to repair will push premiums up. But newer models may have a trim level with safety features including tire pressure monitors, anti-lock brakes, and forward-collision avoidance so those may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability insurance

1990 liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other's property or people in an accident. Liability insurance covers things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so consider buying as much as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays for damage to your resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This gives you protection when the "other guys" do not carry enough liability coverage. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical expense coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses (i.e. doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses). The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
