What factors determine your insurance rates?

Car insurance premiums on a 1994 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. Taken into consideration are:

  • Tickets increase premiums
  • Credit rating
  • The size of your community
  • The number of annual miles
  • Your gender can raise or lower rates
  • Higher deductibles save money
  • Your vehicle's safety rating
  • Your claim history
  • Having current coverage saves
  • Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. A newer vehicle have a higher actual cash value than older models so the costs to repair can inflate annual premiums. On the flip side, newer models may have safety features like adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, and lane departure warning system which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability

This protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. It is cheap coverage so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

This pays for damage to your resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 1994 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
