Insurance premiums paid to insure a 2002 can fluctuate considerably depending on several factors. Some of these factors include:

• A clean driving record keeps rates low
• Credit rating impacts rates
• Male drivers pay higher rates
• Higher deductibles save money
• Safety rating of your 2002
• Your job
• Insurance coverage level
• Whether you own your home

One important consideration that will help determine your rates is the age of the vehicle. Older cars and trucks cost less compared to new models so the costs to repair may result in lower rates. Although new models have more advanced features included like a telematics system, a collision avoidance system, tire pressure monitors, and traction control which may provide discounts that lower premiums.

Coverage for liability

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, and repair bills for other people's vehicles. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be 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 can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
