Insurance premiums for a 2003 can fluctuate considerably subject to many criteria. Some of these factors include:

• More performance equals higher cost
• Accidents raise premiums
• Multiple policies can save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your job
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that helps determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older models cost less compared to new models so repair costs tend to be lower which can decrease annual premiums. But new models have more advanced features including pedestrian detection, dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and automatic crash notification which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability - 2003 liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverages - Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. 2003 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision - Comprehensive insurance 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 most you'll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical costs insurance - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
