The only thing you need to do is invest a little time to compare quotes provided by online insurance companies. It is quite easy and can be accomplished by comparing rates here.

Insurance premiums paid to insure a 1999 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Better credit means lower rates
• The size of your community
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
• Safety rating of your 1999
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having current coverage saves
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration which can affect your rates is the age of the vehicle. Newer models have a higher actual cash value compared to older models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you more. On the flip side, new models have more advanced features like a backup camera, lane departure warning system, and traction control that may help lower rates.

Auto liability

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for collisions

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive auto coverage

This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
