Are you burned out from scraping nickels together to pay insurance coverage each month? You are no different than many other drivers.
Many insurance companies vie to insure your vehicles, and it can be difficult to compare rates to find the absolute lowest rate
You should make it a habit to get comparison quotes once or twice a year because insurance rates change quite often. Even if you got the best premium rates for Grand Marquis insurance a few years ago a different company probably has better prices today. Block out anything you think you know about insurance coverage because I’m going to let you in on the secrets to the fastest way to reduce your cost while improving coverage.
If you currently have a car insurance policy, you will most likely be able to cut costs considerably using these methods. Finding affordable coverage is not rocket science. Although car owners do need to understand the methods companies use to market on the web because it can help you find the best coverage.
Performing a rate comparison can be a lot of work if you aren’t aware of the most efficient way. You can waste a few hours (or days) talking to insurance companies in your area, or you can utilize the web for quick rates.
Most of the best insurance companies are enrolled in a marketplace where insurance shoppers submit their information once, and every company can provide price quotes determined by their information. This eliminates the need for quote forms for each company.

The only downside to getting quotes like this is that consumers can’t choose which providers to get quotes from. So if you prefer to pick specific insurance companies to compare, we have a page of low cost auto insurance companies in your area. Click here to view list.
Whichever method you choose, make sure you use apples-to-apples coverage information with each company. If you compare mixed coverages you will not be able to determine the lowest rate for your Mercury Grand Marquis. Quoting even small variations in coverage limits could throw off the whole comparison. And when comparing auto insurance rates, know that having more price comparisons will improve the odds of getting a lower rate than you’re paying now.
Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but you might already qualify for some discounts to cut the cost considerably. A few discounts will be applied when you purchase, but a few must be asked about before you will receive the discount.
One last thing about discounts, many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut the price of certain insurance coverages like liability and collision coverage. Just because it seems like it’s possible to get free car insurance, you’re out of luck.

When getting free auto insurance quotes, it’s a good idea to all the companies which discounts you qualify for. Some discounts may not apply to policies in your area.
When it comes to choosing the right insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. These are some specific questions could help you determine if you will benefit from professional help.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier
Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the usual coverages available from car insurance companies.
This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things such as a broken windshield, damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
This coverage pays for damage to your Grand Marquis from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for things like colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door, backing into a parked car, damaging your car on a curb and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses like pain medications, EMT expenses, ambulance fees, dental work and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage protects against things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, structural damage, funeral expenses, legal defense fees and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

I live on the north side of Las Cruces, NM. Received quotes with Allstate, AAA, Esurance, and GMAC for my Grand Marquis and I’m now saving $18 a month. It’s still not cheap enough. I dropped full coverage awhile back.
Fatima Hamilton
I’m in the east part of Boise, ID. Quoted prices from 21st Century, AIG Insurance, and some I forget for my 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis and saved around $80 a year. Left USAA to switch. Wish I didn’t have to insure at all.

Mine is so expensive. I live on the south side of Tulsa, Oklahoma. I quoted with State Farm, Farmers, and Hartford for my 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis and I’m now saving $12 a month. I have a teen driver too. They offer free online rate quotes.

Progressive and State Farm had the best prices I found in North Carolina.
Kelsey Newman
I’m just east of Newark, NJ. Compared quite a few companies. Saved right around $20 a month. 21st Century was the best choice for me. Left Safeco to switch. Hopefully won’t need it. Not worth enough to pay for comprehensive and collision.
Norah Hicks
I live south of Chicago, IL. Quoted prices from AAA, Safeco, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis and I think I cut my rates about $20 each month. Moved home policy as well. Liability only on my Mercury.
Elton Dunn
I live on the north side of Miami, FL. I don’t recall every quote but I ended up saving about $20 each month. Left 21st Century to switch. Even increased coverage a bit. They offer free online rate quotes. Not worth enough to pay for comprehensive and collision.

For me, 21st Century was by far the cheapest in Knoxville, TN.
James Solomon
Will Allstate cancel if I have a claim?
Suzanne Greene
If you have a good history and live around Las Cruces, NM, check out GEICO. You might get cheaper rates. Online quotes are the way to go.

Hermine Wooten
Cheaper not always better. Live in Aurora, Illinois. I quoted with Western Auto Insurance, AAA, Hartford, and Nationwide for my Mercury and am saving around $110 a year. I think I’ll get rid of full coverage next time.
