Auto insurance rates for a 2003 can vary widely depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• Higher performance 2003 vehicles cost more
• Any accidents you may have
• Home/auto policy bundles save money
• Use of your vehicle
• Mature drivers pay less
• Being married may save money
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• What you do for a living
• The amount of protection requested
• Whether you own your home

A final factor which can affect is the model year. Models that are a few years old cost less in comparison to older models so repair costs tend to be lower which may result in lower rates. But new models may have a trim level with safety features including lane departure warning system, a telematics system, and a collision avoidance system which can help offset higher rates.

Liability car insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so consider buying higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in. 2003 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive car insurance

Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by your comprehensive insurance. The maximum payout you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle's value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the "other guys" either have no liability insurance or not enough. Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn't take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses (i.e. nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work). They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible.
