Compare Insurance Costs

When shopping for insurance there are multiple ways to compare rate quotes from different insurance companies. The simplest method to find the lowest 1999 Mercury Tracer rates consists of shopping online. This is very easy and can be done in a couple of different ways.

  1. The first (and easiest) way consumers can make multiple comparisons is an all-inclusive rate comparison click here to open form in new window.

  2. A more time consuming way to analyze rates consists of going to the website for each individual company and request a quote.

  3. The hardest method to compare rates is driving to local insurance agencies. Shopping for insurance online can eliminate the need for a local agent unless you have a need for the trained guidance of a local agent. It is possible to price shop online and get advice from an agent in your area.

And when price shopping your coverage, comparing more company’s prices will enable you to find a better price.

Tailor your coverage to you

When choosing the best car insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a perfect coverage plan. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

These are some specific questions may help you determine whether you will benefit from professional help.

  • Am I covered when driving a rental car?
  • Where can I find DUI or SR-22 insurance?
  • Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
  • I have a DUI can I still get coverage?
  • Is my state a no-fault state?
  • Does coverage extend to a rental car in a foreign country?
  • Do I need more liability coverage?
  • Do I have any recourse if my insurance company denies a claim?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form.

Coverages available on your insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like hail damage, damage from getting keyed, vandalism, damage from flooding and rock chips in glass. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability insurance

This protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things like medical expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, pain and suffering and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 1999 Mercury Tracer.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Tracer caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims like scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree, crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses for doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses, dental work, pain medications and hospital visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

One last thing

You just learned a lot of ways to save on insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more rate quotes you have, the higher the chance of saving money. Drivers may discover the best prices are with a small local company.
