Criteria which help determine car insurance premiums

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 1990 will vary greatly based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• The performance level of your 1990
• Your accident history
• Multiple policies can save money
• How you use your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Your claim history
• Maintaining coverage lowers rates
• Owning a home can lower rates

An additional factor that helps determine is the year of the vehicle. Newer models cost more than older models so repair costs are higher which will push premiums up. But more recent vehicles may have safety features including lane departure warning system, anti-lock brakes, and adaptive headlights so those may lower rates.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property in an accident. Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages

This pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills such as ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
