Liability insurance
Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability can pay for claims like structural damage, emergency aid and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but buy as large an amount as possible.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Since many drivers 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. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses for X-ray expenses, ambulance fees, hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses and EMT expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Collision protection
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your S-Class resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision insurance covers things like hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car, damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like rock chips in glass, theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a bird. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
When buying insurance coverage, it’s very important that you do not sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There have been many cases where someone sacrificed physical damage coverage and found out when filing a claim that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your focus should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at an affordable rate, but do not skimp to save money.
Drivers who switch companies do it for a number of reasons such as high rates after DUI convictions, being labeled a high risk driver, denial of a claim and even not issuing a premium refund. It doesn’t matter what your reason, finding a great new company is not as hard as you think.
You just learned many tips how you can lower your 2003 Mercedes-Benz S-Class insurance car insurance rates. It’s most important to understand that the more times you quote, the higher the chance of saving money.
