This can be done by completing this short form.

Rates are determined by the following

Car insurance premiums for a 1993 can vary widely and are calculated by many factors. Including but not limited to:

  • High performance increases premiums
  • Any accidents you may have
  • Home and auto can earn discounts
  • Use of your vehicle
  • Your birth date
  • Having a spouse can save money
  • Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
  • Your occupation
  • The amount of protection requested
  • Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. Used vehicles have a lower value than newer models so repair costs tend to be lower which may end up costing you less. But newer vehicles may have safety features including a collision avoidance system, sideview assist mirrors, a backup camera, and a telematics system which can give discounted rates.

Liability car insurance

This can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. It is cheap coverage so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage covers damage to your caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your 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 older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive car insurance

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
