Free Insurance Quotes

There are several ways of comparing price quotes and find the best price. The easiest way by far to find competitive 2005 Mercury Sable insurance rates involves getting comparison quotes online. This can be accomplished in several different ways.

1. The first (and easiest) way to get quotes for comparison is a comparison rater form (click to open form in new window). This form keeps you from doing separate forms to each individual insurance company. Just one form gets rate comparisons from multiple companies.
2. A more difficult way to get comparison quotes is going to the website for every company you want to comare to complete a price quote. For instance, we’ll assume you want to compare Farmers, Geico and American Family. To get rate quotes you would need to take the time to go to each site to input your insurance information, which is why the first method is more popular.

3. The hardest method of comparing rate quotes is driving around to local insurance agencies. Buying insurance online makes this process obsolete unless you have a need for the personal advice only provided by licensed agents. You can, however, get the lowest quotes online and get advice from an agent in your area and you’ll learn how to do that later.

Whichever way you use, make sure you use identical coverages for every company. If you are comparing different limits and deductibles on each one it will be impossible to make a fair comparison for your Mercury Sable. Just a small difference in coverages can make a big difference in price. And when price shopping your coverage, comparing more company’s prices helps locate a better price.

But I don’t know anything about car insurance

When buying the right insurance coverage, there is no perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions can help discover whether your personal situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

• Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
• What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?
• Should I sign the liability waiver when renting a car?
• Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
• Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
• Do I need roadside assistance coverage?
• How do I buy GAP insurance?
• Are my tools covered if they get stolen from my vehicle?
• Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
• Can I get a multi-policy discount?

If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form or click here for a list of auto insurance companies in your area.

Information about specific coverages

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find the normal coverages offered by insurance companies.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as hail damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass and damage from getting keyed. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as bail bonds, legal defense fees and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things such as sideswiping another vehicle, backing into a parked car, crashing into a ditch and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like surgery, dental work, chiropractic care and pain medications. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
