Finding Auto Insurance

To find the best auto insurance prices, there are several ways of comparing rates from different insurance companies. By far the easiest way to find the cheapest 2002 Mercury Sable insurance rates consists of obtaining rate quotes online. This can be done in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

• The fastest way to get quotes would be an industry-wide quote request form (click to open form in new window). This type of form keeps you from doing separate forms to each individual auto insurance company. In just a few minutes this one form will return quotes from auto insurance companies with the best prices. This is perfect if you don’t have a lot of time.
• Another way to find lower rates is going to the website for every company you want to comare to complete their respective quote request forms. For examples sake, we’ll assume you want to compare rates from State Farm, GEICO and GMAC. To get each rate you have to take the time to go to each site and enter your policy data, which is why most consumers use the first method. To view a list of companies in your area, click here.
• The least recommended way to get comparison rates is to spend your day driving to insurance agents’ offices. The ability to buy insurance online eliminates the need for an insurance agent unless you want the professional advice of a local agent. You can, however, price shop your coverage online but still have the advice of a local agent. We’ll cover that shortly.

Whichever method you choose, make absolute certain that you use identical deductibles and coverage limits for each comparison quote. If you are comparing different deductibles it will be impossible to make a fair comparison for your Mercury Sable. Slightly different coverages can make a big difference in price. Just remember that comparing a large number of companies gives you a better chance of getting a better price.

Which insurance is the “right” coverage?

When buying coverage, there really is no cookie cutter policy. Everyone’s situation is a little different.

For instance, these questions might help in determining if your insurance needs would benefit from an agent’s advice.

• How can I force my company to pay a claim?
• Will I lose any money if I cancel my policy before it expires?
• When would I need rental car insurance?
• How much underlying liability do I need for an umbrella policy?
• Can I make deliveries for my home business?
• How much liability do I need to cover my assets?
• What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
• What is covered by UM/UIM coverage?
• Does my 2002 Mercury Sable need full coverage?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form.

Coverage specifics

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Collision – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Sable caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as rolling your car, hitting a mailbox and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like a broken windshield, hail damage, hitting a deer and vandalism. 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.

Liability car insurance – This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services, medical expenses and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for bills for dental work, nursing services, ambulance fees, X-ray expenses and hospital visits. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. 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 only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Mercury Sable.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
