There are more efficient ways to buy insurance and you need to know the absolute fastest way to compare rates for a Mercedes-Benz and obtain the best price possible from both online companies and local agents.

How to Compare Auto Insurance Costs

All major auto insurance companies provide prices online. Obtaining pricing is pretty easy as you just type in your coverage preferences as detailed in the form. When complete, the system collects reports for credit and driving violations and returns a price quote based on these and other factors.

Online quotes makes it a lot easier to compare rates but having to visit different websites and complete many quote forms can be a bit repetitive. Unfortunately, it is important to have as many quotes as possible if you want to find the lowest possible prices on auto insurance.

The easiest way to compare rates is to use a quote form to return rates from a lot of companies. It saves time, requires less work, and makes online quotes much easier. After sending the form, your coverage is rated and you are able to buy any of the quotes that you receive.

If one or more price quotes are lower than your current rates, you can click and sign and purchase coverage. The whole process takes just a few minutes to complete and may result in a nice savings.

Discounts are basically free money

Car insurance is not cheap, but you may find discounts that you may not know about. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at quote time, but a few must be requested specifically before being credited. If they aren’t giving you every credit you qualify for, you are paying more than you should be.

• Early Signing – Some companies give discounts for switching to them before your current policy expires. This can save 10% or more.
• Anti-lock Brakes – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles prevent accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
• Government Employees – Being employed by or retired from a federal job could cut as much as 10% off on GLC-Class insurance with a few auto insurance companies.
• Anti-theft System – Vehicles with anti-theft systems help deter theft and will save you 10% or more.
• Defensive Driver – Taking part in a course in driver safety could possibly earn you a 5% discount depending on where you live.
• Passive Restraint Discount – Vehicles equipped with air bags or motorized seat belts can receive discounts up to 30%.
• Drivers Education – Require your teen driver to complete a driver education course if offered at their school.
• Paperwork-free – Certain companies give back up to $50 just for signing your application over the internet.
• Multiple Policy Discount – When you have multiple policies with the same insurance company you may save 10% to 20% off each policy.

Consumers should know that most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because it seems like you can get free auto insurance, it just doesn’t work that way. But any discount will cut the amount you have to pay.

Which insurance is the “right” coverage?

Car insurance coverages 101

Understanding the coverages of your car insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses such as surgery, rehabilitation expenses and prosthetic devices. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hitting a deer, fire damage, theft, damage from getting keyed and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Collision – This will pay to fix damage to your GLC-Class resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as backing into a parked car, hitting a mailbox, scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Mercedes-Benz GLC-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 important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Auto liability insurance – Liability insurance protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, $50,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, bail bonds and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
