Looking for cheaper insurance coverage rates for your Mercury Villager? If online insurance coverage comparisons are new to you, there’s a good chance you are baffled of online insurance coverage companies and websites that all promise to save you money.

When should I discuss my situation with an agent?

When it comes to choosing the right insurance coverage, there really is no one size fits all plan. Each situation is unique.

For instance, these questions can aid in determining if you may require specific advice.

  • Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
  • Does car insurance cover theft of personal property?
  • How much liability do I need to cover my assets?
  • How can I force my company to pay a claim?
  • What if I don’t agree with a claim settlement offer?
  • Do I need replacement cost coverage on my 1997 Mercury Villager?

If you can’t answer these questions, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, simply complete this short form.

Car insurance coverage information

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision protection

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Villager from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims like colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical expense coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses for doctor visits, EMT expenses, X-ray expenses, ambulance fees and hospital visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from flooding, hitting a bird and hitting a deer. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Mercury Villager.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Liability car insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers things such as structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, bail bonds and pain and suffering. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

    Nice post. Live in Houston, Texas. Got car insurance rates from 21st Century, Amica, Eastwood, and Hanover for my Villager and saved just over $100 a year. I have a couple other vehicles on the policy. Are quotes cheaper online? Liability only on my Villager.

    I switched to Progressive. Quoted good rates in Provo, UT. Insured with Esurance before. Online quotes are the way to go. When should I drop full coverage?

    Hope my car insurance gets cheaper. I’m just south of Hartford, Connecticut. Got car insurance quotes from Hartford, American Family, Nationwide, and a couple others for my 1997 Mercury Villager and I’m now saving $22 a month. I’m a pretty good driver though.

    If you have a good history and are close to Madison, WI, check out Progressive. You might get cheaper rates. Insured with State Farm before. I think they have home insurance too. I don’t put full coverage on it.

    Good detail in your article. Checking in from Wichita, KS. I don’t recall every quote but I ended up saving about $20 each month. I get lower rates because of my clean driving record. Might find lower rates online. It’s only liability tho.

    I got decent rates for a 1997 Mercury Villager in Springfield, MO. Ended up at right around $110 every six months with Auto-Owners. Book value doesn’t justify full coverage anymore.

    Good site, thanks. I’m in the north part of North Charleston, SC. Quoted prices from Sentry, Encompass, Progressive, and AIG Insurance for my Mercury and saved just over $90 a year. Insured with Farmers before. Teenage drivers are expensive! Just waiting to see how claims go. Next renewal I’ll just do liability.
