What factors impact ?

Auto insurance rates paid to insure a 2003 can fluctuate considerably based upon several criteria. Taken into consideration are:

• Your driving record
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Where you reside can make a big difference
• Annual mileage can affect rates
• Men typically pay more than women
• Higher deductibles save money
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Claims drive up premiums
• No coverage lapses saves money
• Whether you rent or own your home

A final factor that will help determine is the model year. A newer vehicle have a higher replacement value in comparison to later models so repair costs are higher which may result in higher rates. Conversely, more recent vehicles may have a trim level with safety features such as a rollover prevention system, a backup camera, a telematics system, and adaptive cruise control which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Liability insurance is relatively cheap so consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses (i.e. doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses). The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
