Insurance premiums on a 2003 can be significantly different and are calculated by many factors. Some of these factors include:

• High performance increases premiums
• How many accidents you have had
• Home and auto can earn discounts
• Pleasure use vs. commuting use
• Extra coverages like towing and rental
• Your job
• The level of coverage
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that can impact your rates is the age of the vehicle. Used vehicles cost less compared to new models so the cost to replace them may end up costing you less. Conversely, newer vehicles have more advanced features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, and pedestrian detection that may help lower rates.

Auto liability insurance

This can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. It is cheap coverage so buy as large an amount as possible.

Collision protection

This coverage covers damage to your resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Collision coverage for your 2003 can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The highest amount you'll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle's occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
