Compare insurance rate quotes

Most major insurance companies give coverage price quotes on their websites. Doing online price comparisons doesn’t take much effort because it’s just a matter of typing in your coverage preferences into a form. After the form is submitted, the system gets information on your driving record and credit history and returns a price based on the information you submitted. This helps simplify price comparisons, but the work required to visit different websites and type in the same information can be a bit repetitive. Unfortunately, it is important to compare as many rates as possible if you are searching for the best price possible.

The easy way to compare rates

A more efficient way to compare insurance pricing is to use a quote form that obtains quotes from many companies. It saves time, eliminates repetitive work, and makes price shopping online a lot less work. After sending your information, it is quoted and you can select any or none of the returned quotes.

If you find a better price you can simply submit the application and purchase coverage. This process takes just a few minutes to complete and you’ll know if lower rates are available.

Use discounts on insurance

Some insurance providers don’t always publicize all available discounts very well, so below is a list both well-publicized and also the more inconspicuous insurance savings.

  • Payment Method – By paying your entire bill at once instead of making monthly payments you could save up to 5%.
  • Mature Driver Discount – Seniors can possibly qualify for reduced rates on M-Class insurance.
  • Low Mileage Discounts – Driving less can earn lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • Seat Belt Discounts – Forcing all vehicle occupants to use a seat belt could save 15% off PIP or medical payments premium.
  • Savings for New Vehicles – Adding a new car to your policy can save you some money compared to insuring an older model.

Just know that some of the credits will not apply to all coverage premiums. Some only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as comprehensive or collision. Despite the appearance that it’s possible to get free car insurance, you aren’t that lucky. But any discount will definitely reduce the premium cost.

Companies that have some of the above discounts are:

It’s a good idea to ask all the companies which discounts can lower your rates. All car insurance discounts may not apply to policies in your area. If you would like to view insurance companies that offer some of these discounts, click here to view.

Tailor your insurance coverage coverage to you

When buying proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there is no best way to insure your cars. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. These are some specific questions may help you determine if you might need professional guidance.

  • Is my 2011 Mercedes-Benz M-Class covered for flood damage?
  • Is my trailer covered?
  • Do I need PIP coverage since I have good health insurance?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
  • How can I get high-risk coverage after a DUI?
  • Should I put collision coverage on all my vehicles?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Detailed coverages of your auto insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are typical coverages available from auto insurance companies.

Comprehensive coverage (or 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 and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass, hail damage, hitting a bird and vandalism. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Mercedes-Benz M-Class.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Frequently the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for things such as hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses for things like chiropractic care, doctor visits and EMT expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability car insurance

Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims such as legal defense fees, bail bonds, funeral expenses and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
