Cheaper 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Car Insurance Quotes

Trying to find better insurance rates for your Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class? Searching for better insurance prices for a Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class can be a lot of work, but you can learn these tips to make it easier.

There are more efficient ways to find insurance online so we’re going to tell you the proper way to get price quotes for a Mercedes-Benz and get the lowest possible price from both online companies and local agents.

The cheapest insurance quotes

Most major insurance companies like Allstate and Progressive provide coverage prices on the web. Getting quotes doesn’t take much effort because it’s just a matter of typing in the coverage amounts you desire into the quote form. Once you submit the form, the system gets credit information and your driving record and gives you a price quote based on the data you entered.

Quoting online helps simplify price comparisons, but the time it takes to visit several different sites and type in your information can get tiresome after awhile. But it’s also necessary to have as many quotes as possible in order to get the lowest price.

There is an easier way!

A more efficient way to get multiple rate quotes is to use a quote form that analyzes rates from more than one company. The form is fast, reduces the work, and makes online shopping much more efficient. As soon as the form is sent, it is rated with multiple companies and you can pick any one of the price quotes you receive.

If you find a better price you can click and sign and purchase the new policy. This process just takes a couple of minutes and you’ll know if lower rates are available.

Drivers save money with these discounts

Some insurance providers don’t always advertise every policy discount very clearly, so the list below contains some of the best known as well as some of the hidden discounts that you may qualify for.

  • Homeowners Savings – Owning a house can save you money because owning a home is proof that your finances are in order.
  • Distant Student Discount – who are enrolled in higher education away from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle may be insured at a cheaper rate.
  • Military Deployment Discount – Having a family member in the military could qualify you for better premium rates.
  • Pay Upfront and Save – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.
  • Discount for Low Mileage – Driving fewer miles could earn substantially lower rates.
  • No Claim Discounts – Drivers with accident-free driving histories have much lower rates in comparison to insureds who have frequent claims or accidents.
  • Use Seat Belts – Drivers who require all occupants to buckle up may be able to save a few bucks off PIP or medical payments premium.

A little disclaimer on discounts, some credits don’t apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like collision or personal injury protection. Even though the math looks like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it’s just not the way it works.

Special considerations

When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Every situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining whether your personal situation may require specific advice.

  • Which is better, split liability limits or combined limits?
  • Why is insurance for a teen driver so high?
  • What is UM/UIM insurance?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?
  • Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
  • Can I drive in Mexico and have coverage?
  • Can I afford low physical damage deductibles?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form. It only takes a few minutes and can provide invaluable advice.

Auto insurance coverage information

Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as rock chips in glass, hail damage and vandalism. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your SLK-Class resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like rolling your car, driving through your garage door and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills for things like pain medications, prosthetic devices, nursing services and dental work. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability coverage

This protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like emergency aid, court costs and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
