Insurance premiums on a 2002 will vary greatly subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Your credit history
• Men typically pay more than women
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 2002
• Whether or not you have claims
• Having current coverage saves
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. A newer vehicle cost more compared to older models so the payout to repair will push premiums up. On the flip side, more recent vehicles have more advanced features like active head restraints, traction control, and a rollover prevention system so those may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability

2002 liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as much as you can afford.

Collision protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage for your 2002 can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The maximum amount you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
