Car insurance rates influenced by the following

Insurance rates paid to insure a 2003 can be significantly different depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Better credit means lower rates
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Low deductibles cost more
  • Crash test rating for your 2003
  • Your profession
  • Your coverage level
  • Home ownership saves money

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. Older cars and trucks have a lower value so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have options like a backup camera, automatic crash notification, pedestrian detection, and blind-spot warning system that may help give discounted rates.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability coverage protects against claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage covers damage to your from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. 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 vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
