To find low cost prices, there are a couple of ways to obtain and compare prices from many different insurance companies. The recommended way to find the cheapest 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis insurance rates consists of obtaining rate quotes online. This is very easy and can be done by using one of the methods below.
Whichever way you use, be sure to compare the same coverages for each price quote. If each company quotes different liability limits it will be nearly impossible to determine which company has the best rates. Having just a slight variation in insurance coverages or limits can make a big difference in price. Just remember that comparing a wide range of rates will enable you to find the best price. Some companies don’t provide rate quotes online, so you need to compare prices from them as well.
Lots of factors are used in the calculation when quoting car insurance. Some of the criteria are obvious such as your driving history, but other factors are not quite as obvious like your continuous coverage and annual miles driven.
The following are some of the items that factor into prices.

Popular insurance coverage providers such as Allstate, Geico and Progressive regularly use ads in print and on television. They all have a common claim of big savings if you get a free auto insurance quote and switch to their company. Is it even possible that every company can lower your premium rates? Here is how they do it.
All the different companies have specific characteristics for the type of driver that is profitable for them. An example of a preferred risk could be over age 30, is a homeowner, and has a short commute. Any customer who fits those characteristics receive the lowest rate quotes and will most likely save a lot of money.
People who fall outside those standards will see higher rates and this results in the driver buying from a lower-cost company. The ads state “people who switch” not “everyone that quotes” save that much. That is how companies can make the claims of big savings.
Because every company is different, you need to compare rate quotes every year. It is impossible to guess which company will have the best prices for your profile.
Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverages offered by auto insurance companies.
Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Grand Marquis caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis.
Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Usually these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like theft, rock chips in glass, vandalism and damage from flooding. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for prosthetic devices, chiropractic care, ambulance fees, EMT expenses and X-ray expenses. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability coverages – This will cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability insurance covers things like structural damage, bail bonds and funeral expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy higher limits if possible.
Lower-priced 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis insurance can be purchased both online and from local insurance agents, and you should compare rates from both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some companies may not offer internet price quotes and most of the time these regional carriers prefer to sell through independent insurance agencies.
When shopping online for insurance, it’s not a good idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. There are many occasions where drivers have reduced liability coverage limits only to discover later they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your focus should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at the best possible price, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
