Criteria which help determine

Auto insurance rates for a 2003 can vary widely based upon several criteria. A few of these criteria are:

• The performance level of your 2003
• Any accidents you may have
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Use of your vehicle
• Optional coverages like vehicle replacement
• Claims drive up premiums
• Having current coverage saves
• Owning a home can lower rates

A final factor that can impact is the model year. A newer vehicle have a higher value in comparison to later models so repair costs are higher which can inflate annual premiums. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have a trim level with safety features like pedestrian detection, dual-stage airbags, a rollover prevention system, and automatic crash notification which can provide discounts that lower premiums.

Liability - Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emergency aid. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so consider buying higher limits if possible.

Collision coverages - This coverage covers damage to your caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder. 2003 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision - Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage - This coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills (i.e. ambulance fees, surgery, and doctor visits). The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
