Which factors influence ?

Car insurance premiums paid to insure a 2003 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Taken into consideration are:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Low deductibles cost more
• Your vehicle's safety rating
• Your claim history
• Having continuous coverage saves you money
• Whether you rent or own your home

An additional factor that can impact is the year of the vehicle. New vehicles have a higher value than older models so the cost to replace them may result in higher rates. Although new models may have safety features included like anti-lock brakes, adaptive headlights, blind-spot warning system, and a backup camera which may give discounted rates.

Coverage for liability - This coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverages - This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) - This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle's value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage - This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Insurance for medical payments - Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
