Premiums are calculated by these things

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 1997 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

• Higher performance 1997 vehicles cost more
• Accidents raise premiums
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• How you use your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married can lower rates
• Add-on coverages such as rental reimbursement
• Your occupation
• The level of coverage
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor which can affect is the year of the vehicle. Models that are a few years old have a lower value than newer models so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. Conversely, new models may have safety features such as a collision avoidance system, sideview assist mirrors, a backup camera, and a telematics system which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability car insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive car insurance

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
