If you are a novice to online auto insurance shopping, you may be overwhelmed by the hoards of companies competing for your business. Finding lower is surprisingly easy. You just have to spend a little time comparing rates provided by online insurance companies. It is quite easy and can be accomplished by completing this short form.

Premiums are calculated by the following

Insurance rates on a 2003 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Including but not limited to:

  • A clean driving record keeps rates low
  • Credit rating impacts rates
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Low deductibles cost more
  • Crash test rating for your 2003
  • No claims lowers premiums
  • Having current coverage saves
  • Home ownership saves money

One last important factor which can affect the rate you pay on your is the year of manufacture. New vehicles have a higher actual cash value so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. On the flip side, newer vehicles may have options like active head restraints, an advanced theft deterrent system, and lane departure warning system which may give discounted rates.

Liability auto insurance - This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, and legal defense fees. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This covers damage to your resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. Collision coverage for your 2003 can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It's also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance - Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses for things like EMT expenses, pain medications, and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
