Insurance premiums for a 1996 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 1996
• Your job
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Used vehicles cost less compared to new models so repair costs tend to be lower which can decrease annual premiums. Although new models have more advanced features included like forward-collision avoidance, sideview assist mirrors, and all-wheel drive which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability coverage

1996 liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. 1996 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
