Car insurance rates influenced by...

Insurance premiums for a 1993 will vary greatly and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

• Tickets increase premiums
• Your credit history
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• How many miles you drive
• Men typically pay more than women
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Crash test rating for your 1993
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Home ownership saves money

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks have a lower value compared to new models so repair costs tend to be lower which may end up costing you less. But more recent vehicles have more advanced features including lane departure warning system, traction control, and autonomous braking so those may lower rates.

Liability coverage

This will cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so buy as much as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a 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 lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that 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 important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
