Compare Quotes for Car Insurance

When shopping for car insurance there are multiple ways of comparing rate quotes from different insurance companies. The best method to find the lowest 2000 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class rates is to perform an online rate comparison. This is very easy and can be done in several different ways.

• One of the simplest ways to get quotes for comparison would be an industry-wide quote request form like this one (opens in new window). This type of form prevents you from having to do repetitive form submissions to each individual car insurance company. One form gets you coverage quotes from several companies. Recommended for those who want to invest the least amount of time.
• A more time consuming way to find lower rates requires visiting the website of each company to complete a price quote.

Detailed coverages of your car insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Liability coverages

This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as pain and suffering, medical expenses and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a bird and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision coverage

This pays for damage to your SL-Class caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Mercedes-Benz SL-Class.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, doctor visits, ambulance fees and chiropractic care. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
