Auto insurance rates for a 1991 will vary greatly depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:
A final factor that will help determine is the model year. Older cars and trucks have a lower value in comparison to older models so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. But more recent vehicles may have a trim level with safety features including a telematics system, a collision avoidance system, tire pressure monitors, and traction control so those may help offset higher rates.
Coverage for liability
This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so consider buying as much as you can afford.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 1991 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value it's not worth carrying full coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.
Insurance for medical payments
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses (i.e. EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services). They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible.
