  • When should my teen driver be added to my policy?

Car insurance coverages for a 1993 Mercedes-Benz 600-Class

Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the usual coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.

UM/UIM Coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Mercedes-Benz 600-Class.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, 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.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses for EMT expenses, hospital visits, doctor visits and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision insurance

Collision insurance pays for damage to your 600-Class caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers things such as crashing into a building, colliding with a tree and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

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

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like falling objects, hail damage, damage from getting keyed, a broken windshield and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability insurance covers things such as loss of income, emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

One last thing about your coverage

Budget-conscious 1993 Mercedes-Benz 600-Class insurance can be bought online as well as from independent agents, and you should be comparing both so you have a total pricing picture. A few companies don’t offer online quoting and usually these small insurance companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

In this article, we covered a lot of information how to compare insurance prices online. The most important thing to understand is the more times you quote, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. You may even find the lowest rates come from an unexpected company. These smaller insurers can often provide lower rates in certain areas as compared to the big name companies such as State Farm and Allstate.

When trying to cut insurance costs, it’s very important that you do not reduce needed coverages to save money. There are a lot of situations where someone sacrificed uninsured motorist or liability limits and discovered at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The aim is to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.
