Insurance rates for a 1998 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

  • Higher performance 1998 vehicles cost more
  • Accidents raise premiums
  • Home and auto can earn discounts
  • Use of your vehicle
  • Extra coverages like towing and rental
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • No coverage lapses saves money
  • Whether you own your home

One last important factor that can impact the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. New vehicles have a higher value so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. Conversely, newer models may have options such as dual-stage airbags, sideview assist mirrors, and active head restraints which may give discounted rates.

Liability coverages

This coverage protects you 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. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage pays for damage to your caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. 1998 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Coverage for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
