Cheaper 1995 Mercury Cougar Insurance Quotes

Searching for better car insurance rates for your Mercury Cougar? Shopping for lower-cost car insurance might appear problematic for beginners to online price comparisons. With so many options of insurers available, how are we expected to possibly compare every one to find the best available price?

Smart consumers take time to get comparison quotes on a regular basis because insurance rates are adjusted regularly by insurance companies. If you had the best rate for Cougar insurance a few years ago you can probably find a lower rate today. Forget all the misinformation about car insurance because I’m going to let you in on the secrets to the only way to buy cheaper car insurance.

Low cost insurance prices

Most larger insurance companies like 21st Century, Allstate and State Farm provide prices directly from their websites. Getting prices online is fairly simple as all you need to do is type in the amount of coverage you want on the page. Once entered, the company’s rating system sends out for information on your driving record and credit history and returns pricing information based on these factors.

This makes it a lot easier to compare rates but having to visit several different sites and fill out multiple forms is repetitive and time-consuming. But it’s very important to have as many quotes as possible if you want to get the best price possible.

A better way to find better insurance pricing makes use of a single form that obtains quotes from several companies at one time. The form is fast, requires less work, and makes online shopping a little more enjoyable. After your information is entered, it is quoted and you can select any of the price quotes you receive. If a lower price is quoted, you can click and sign and purchase coverage. The whole process takes just a few minutes to complete and you will know how your current rates stack up.

If you want to compare pricing, click here and complete the simple form. If you currently have coverage, we recommend you complete the form with exactly as they are listed on your policy. This helps ensure you’re receiving rate quotes for similar coverage.

Find hidden discounts to get affordable insurance rates

Insurance is not an enjoyable expense, but there are discounts available that many people don’t even know exist. Certain reductions will be credited when you purchase, but some need to be specially asked for before being credited.

• Service Members Pay Less – Being deployed with a military unit could qualify you for better insurance rates.
• Air Bag Discount – Vehicles equipped with air bags or automatic seat belts could see savings of up to 25% or more.
• Buy New and Save – Buying a new car model may earn a small discount due to better safety requirements for newer models.
• Own a Home – Owning your own home or condo may earn you a small savings due to the fact that maintaining a home shows financial diligence.
• Accident Waiver – This isn’t a discount exactly, but a handful of insurance companies will allow you to have one accident without raising rates so long as you haven’t had any claims for a set time period.

Don’t be shocked that most credits do not apply to the entire policy premium. Most cut specific coverage prices like collision or personal injury protection. If you do the math and it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, you aren’t that lucky. But any discount will help reduce your overall premium however.

A few popular companies and a selection of discounts are included below.

• Mercury Insurance offers discounts including age of vehicle, good student, annual mileage, anti-theft, professional/association, and good driver.
• Farmers Insurance may include discounts for early shopping, electronic funds transfer, mature driver, multi-car, good student, distant student, and business and professional.
• Farm Bureau has savings for renewal discount, 55 and retired, safe driver, good student, and driver training.
• State Farm offers premium reductions for good driver, good student, multiple policy, Drive Safe & Save, student away at school, safe vehicle, and accident-free.
• Allstate discounts include passive restraint, anti-lock brakes, new car, resident student, and early signing.
• Geico includes discounts for driver training, defensive driver, good student, seat belt use, military active duty, five-year accident-free, and multi-policy.

If you need lower rates, check with each insurance company which discounts you may be entitled to. Some of the earlier mentioned discounts may not be available in your state.

Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When buying coverage, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Every situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining whether you will benefit from professional help.

• Is my trailer covered?
• What is the ISO rating for a 1995 Mercury Cougar?
• Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
• Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
• When would I need additional glass coverage?
• Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver?
• Is a fancy paint job covered?
• Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• What happens if I owe more than my 1995 Mercury Cougar is worth?

If you’re not sure about those questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form.

The coverage is in the details

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills like nursing services, chiropractic care, X-ray expenses and funeral costs. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 1995 Mercury Cougar.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover 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 commonly see values of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects, funeral expenses and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage pays for damage to your Cougar from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things like hitting a mailbox, driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing 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 that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hitting a deer. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
