If you have an older vehicle, you may be wondering what kind of insurance you need and how much it will cost. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Liability insurance is usually required by law. Most states require drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance, which covers damages and injuries you cause to other people in an accident. This is typically the most basic form of insurance you’ll need.
- Collision and comprehensive insurance may not be necessary. If your car is older and has a low value, you may want to skip collision and comprehensive coverage, which covers damage to your own vehicle. The cost of this coverage may be higher than the value of your car, which means you could end up paying more in premiums than you would receive in a payout if your car is damaged or totaled.
Please note that this is only meant as an example and prices may vary depending on several factors.

- Age and Condition of the Vehicle: As an older model, it may not require comprehensive coverage, which can lower costs.
