Rates are determined by the following

Car insurance premiums for your 2003 can vary widely subject to many criteria. Including but not limited to:

• Traffic citations increase rates
• Credit rating
• Male rates may be higher
• Low deductibles cost more
• Crash test rating for your 2003
• Your claim history
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Home ownership saves money

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher value than older models so the payout to repair can inflate annual premiums. Although newer vehicles may have safety features included like pedestrian detection, tire pressure monitors, and autonomous braking which can give discounted rates.

Liability insurance

2003 liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other's property or people. Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. This coverage is usually fairly inexpensive so you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

This coverage covers damage to your resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, 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 from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical expense coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
