Which factors influence car insurance premiums?

Insurance rates for your 1993 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Taken into consideration are:

  • Higher performance 1993 vehicles cost more
  • How many accidents you have had
  • Home and auto can earn discounts
  • Pleasure, commuting or business use can affect rates
  • Special coverage such as replacement cost
  • Your profession
  • The level of coverage
  • Whether you rent or own your home

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Used vehicles have a reduced actual cash value so the payout to repair may result in lower rates. Conversely, newer vehicles may have options such as traction control, tire pressure monitors, a collision avoidance system, and a telematics system that may help give discounted rates.

Liability

This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other's property or people. Liability coverage protects against things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage covers damage to your resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a 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 vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
