Insurance rates for a 1996 will vary greatly subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Your credit history
• Male rates may be higher
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 1996
• No claims lowers premiums
• Having current coverage saves
• Whether you own your home

One last important factor that helps determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. A newer vehicle cost more so the payout to repair will push premiums up. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have options like a backup camera, automatic crash notification, pedestrian detection, and blind-spot warning system so those may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Auto liability insurance

1996 liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. 1996 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
