How you compare quotes is your choice, just do your best to use apples-to-apples coverages on every quote. If each company quotes different limits and deductibles on each one you will not be able to find the best deal for your Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class. Slightly different limits could mean much higher rates. Just remember that making a lot of price comparisons will enable you to find the best offered rates. Some insurance companies are not set up to provide prices over the internet, so you should also compare quotes from those companies as well.

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability can pay for claims like repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid, medical services and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but buy higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for things like hitting a deer, damage from flooding, falling objects, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hail damage. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision insurance pays for damage to your CLK-Class resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims like hitting a mailbox, scraping a guard rail and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses such as pain medications, chiropractic care, surgery, X-ray expenses and hospital visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.
