Compare the Market for Auto Insurance

This type of form saves time by eliminating separate quote forms for every auto insurance company. Taking the time to complete one form will return price quotes from auto insurance companies with the best prices.
  • A more time consuming way to get quotes online requires visiting the website of each company to request a price quote. For instance, we’ll pretend you want to compare rates from Liberty Mutual, Safeco and Progressive.

  • The least efficient method of comparing rate quotes is to spend your day driving to local insurance agencies. The ability to buy insurance online makes this process obsolete unless you require the trained guidance that only a license agent can provide.

It’s up to you which method you use, but make absolute certain that you use identical coverage limits with each company. If you have unequal deductibles or liability limits it’s impossible to determine the lowest rate for your Mercury Sable.

Car insurance is unique, just like you

When it comes to buying adequate coverage, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s and your policy should reflect that. For instance, these questions may help highlight whether you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • When would I need rental car insurance?
  • What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in my state?
  • Do I need added coverage for expensive stereo equipment?
  • Are rock chip repairs covered?
  • Should I buy only the required minimum liability coverage?
  • What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
  • How can I get my company to pay me more for my totalled car?
  • Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
  • Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
  • Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?

If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or go to this page to view a list of companies. It only takes a few minutes and may give you better protection.

Coverages available on your policy

Having a good grasp of auto insurance can help you determine the best coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on most auto insurance policies.

Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses for doctor visits, dental work, prosthetic devices, ambulance fees and hospital visits. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Liability car insurance – Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and property damage coverage for $100,000.

Liability can pay for things such as court costs, emergency aid and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like theft, hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism and falling objects. The highest amount a auto 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.

Collision coverages – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Sable caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things like scraping a guard rail, sideswiping another vehicle, driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
