Lower Your 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Insurance Cost

Want the cheapest insurance coverage rates for your Mercedes-Benz G-Class? Price shopping your insurance coverage is always difficult for drivers not familiar with online price comparisons. Consumers have so many choices that it can easily be a burden to locate the lowest price.

How your G-Class insurance rates are determined

Many things are taken into consideration when pricing auto insurance. A few of the factors are predictable like your driving record, but others are more obscure like your vehicle usage or how safe your car is.Consumers need to have an understanding of the factors that come into play when calculating the level of your policy premiums. If you have some idea of what determines premiums, this allows you to make educated decisions that may reward you with lower rates.

Shown below are some of the factors utilized by car insurance companies to help set your rate level.

• Gaps in coverage mean higher premiums – Driving with no insurance can get your license suspended and you will pay a penalty because you let your insurance coverage expire. Not only will you pay more, not being able to provide proof of insurance will get you a fine, jail time, or a revoked license.
• High coverage deductibles lower costs – Physical damage protection, commonly called comprehensive (or other-than-collision) and collision coverage, protects your Mercedes-Benz from damage. Some examples of covered claims would be colliding with a building, hail damage, and damage caused by flying debris. The deductibles you choose define how much you are willing to pay if a claim is determined to be covered. The more money you are required to pay out-of-pocket, the less money you will pay for insurance coverage on G-Class insurance.
• Responsible drivers pay less – How you drive can have a huge impact on auto insurance premiums. Drivers who don’t get tickets pay lower auto insurance prices as compared to those with violations. Having a single driving citation may cause rates to rise twenty percent or more. Drivers who have gotten dangerous violations such as reckless driving or DUI may find they need to prove financial responsibility with their state’s licensing department in order to legally drive a vehicle.
• Extra coverages are wasting money – There are quite a few extra add-on coverages that you can get tricked into buying if you aren’t careful. Coverage for things like rental car coverage, towing coverage, and membership fees are probably not needed. They may seem good when buying your policy, but if they’re wasting money eliminate them to save money.

More discounts mean cheap premiums

Car insurance companies do not advertise every policy discount very well, so the next list breaks down both well-publicized as well as some of the hidden discounts that may be available.

• Paper-free Discount – A handful of auto insurance companies may give you up to $50 simply for signing on your computer.
• Lower Rates for Military – Being on active deployment in the military can result in better prices.
• Drivers Education – Cut your cost by having your teen driver enroll and complete driver’s education in school.
• First Accident Forgiveness – Not a discount per se, but a few companies such as Liberty Mutual, Allstate and State Farm will turn a blind eye to one accident before they charge you more for coverage if your claims history is clear for a particular time prior to the accident.
• Student in College – Any of your kids who are enrolled in higher education away from home and won’t have access to an insured vehicle can receive lower rates.

Remember that most of the big mark downs will not be given to all coverage premiums. A few only apply to specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. If you do the math and it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it just doesn’t work that way.

It’s not one size fits all

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

• Is my business laptop covered if it gets stolen from my vehicle?
• Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
• Why am I be forced to buy a membership to get insurance from some companies?
• Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
• What is roadside assistance coverage?
• Should I bundle my homeowners policy with my auto?
• What are the financial responsibility laws in my state?
• What if I total my 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class and owe more than it’s worth?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form.

Insurance coverage options for a 2002 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can help you determine which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Liability auto insurance – This protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as legal defense fees, attorney fees, medical services, bail bonds and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage – This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Most of the time these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door, backing into a parked car, crashing into a ditch and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive protection – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like hitting a deer, fire damage, damage from flooding and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Medical expense coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills for doctor visits, hospital visits, ambulance fees, chiropractic care and pain medications. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
