Ignore everything you know about insurance coverage because we’re going to demonstrate the fastest and easiest way to properly buy coverages while reducing your premium.

If you currently have car insurance, you will most likely be able to lower your premiums substantially using this strategy. The purpose of this article is to introduce you to the best way to quote coverages. Nevertheless, car owners do need to know how insurance companies price online insurance and take advantage of how the system works.

These discounts can slash insurance coverage rates

Companies don’t necessarily list every discount very well, so here is a list some of the more common and the harder-to-find insurance coverage savings.

  • Braking Control Discount – Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems can avoid accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Organization Discounts – Affiliation with certain professional organizations is a good way to get lower rates on your policy on SL-Class coverage.
  • Drivers Ed for Students – Require your teen driver to complete a driver education course in high school.
  • Early Signing – Some insurance companies reward drivers for switching to them prior to your current policy expiring. This can save 10% or more.
  • Paperwork-free – A few companies may give you up to $50 simply for signing digitally online.
  • Bundle and Save – When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same company you could get a discount of up to 20% off your total premium.
  • Driver Safety – Completing a driver safety course could cut 5% off your bill and easily recoup the cost of the course.

It’s important to understand that most discounts do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. The majority will only reduce individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. So when the math indicates you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it just doesn’t work that way.

A partial list of companies who might offer these discounts may include but are not limited to:

It’s a good idea to ask every prospective company what discounts are available to you. All car insurance discounts might not be offered in every state.

When might I need the advice of an agent?

When buying the right insurance coverage, there is no best way to insure your cars. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining if you might need an agent’s assistance.

  • Do I need roadside assistance coverage?
  • How much liability insurance is required?
  • Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
  • Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
  • Does my personal policy cover me when driving out-of-state?
  • Do I have coverage when pulling a U-Haul trailer?
  • Is my babysitter covered when using my vehicle?
  • When should I not file a claim?
  • Does having multiple vehicles earn me a discount?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

Switch companies and save? Really?

Insurance providers like Allstate and Progressive regularly use ads on television and other media. They all have a common claim about savings if you move your policy. How can each company claim to save you money? It’s all in the numbers.

Insurance companies have a certain “appetite” for the right customer that is profitable for them. For instance, a driver they prefer could be over the age of 50, a clean driving record, and chooses high deductibles. A driver who matches those parameters will get very good rates and as a result will probably cut their rates substantially.

Consumers who do not match these standards will be quoted higher prices which leads to business not being written. The ads state “people who switch” not “everyone that quotes” save money. That is how companies can truthfully claim big savings. This emphasizes why you should compare many company’s rates. It is impossible to predict which company will fit your personal profile best.

Specifics of your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like vandalism, theft and hail damage. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability insurance

This provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, 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. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income and bail bonds. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills for things like X-ray expenses, chiropractic care, pain medications and surgery. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your SL-Class caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch and crashing into a building. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Stretch your dollar

Throughout this article, we presented some good ideas how you can lower your 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class insurance rates. It’s most important to understand that the more times you quote, the better your comparison will be. You may even discover the best prices are with the smaller companies.

As you restructure your insurance plan, don’t be tempted to skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There are a lot of situations where someone sacrificed uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your aim should be to purchase plenty of coverage at a price you can afford.

Lower-priced insurance can be bought on the web and also from your neighborhood agents, so compare prices from both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.
