Looking for lower insurance rates for your Mercedes-Benz CL-Class? Do you get frustrated by the number of insurance choices? You’re not alone. Drivers have so many choices to choose from that it can be a difficult situation to lower your premium rates.
Some insurance providers don’t always list every available discount very clearly, so the list below contains some of the best known and the harder-to-find credits that may apply to you.
While discounts sound great, it’s important to understand that some credits don’t apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. Despite the appearance that you can get free auto insurance, it just doesn’t work that way.
A list of companies and a partial list of their discounts include:
Double check with all companies you are considering to give you their best rates. Some credits might not be available to policyholders in your area. To locate insurance companies who offer online insurance coverage quotes, follow this link.
Smart consumers have a good feel for the different types of things that go into determining your premiums. If you have some idea of what impacts premium levels, this enables informed choices that may reward you with lower premium levels. Multiple criteria are part of the calculation when quoting car insurance. Most are fairly basic like an MVR report, but other criteria are less apparent like your continuous coverage or how safe your car is.
The items below are just a few of the factors companies use to determine your rates.
When choosing adequate coverage, there really is no cookie cutter policy. Every situation is different.
Here are some questions about coverages that can help discover if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form.
Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Uninsured and underinsured coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Mercedes-Benz CL-Class.
Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Comprehensive coverages
Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like vandalism, rock chips in glass and falling objects. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Coverage for medical payments
Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for bills like dental work, prosthetic devices and funeral costs. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Coverage for liability
Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, structural damage, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects and emergency aid. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Collision coverage protection
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your CL-Class from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for claims such as scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a parking meter and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Consumers leave their current company for a number of reasons such as high rates after DUI convictions, unfair underwriting practices, delays in paying claims and poor customer service. It doesn’t matter what your reason, finding a new company can be less work than you think.
Throughout this article, we presented quite a bit of information on how to save on 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more you quote insurance coverage, the better chance you’ll have of finding affordable insurance coverage. You may even discover the lowest priced car insurance comes from a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising.
Cheaper car insurance can be found online and from local insurance agents, and you should be comparing both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some insurance providers do not offer the ability to get quotes online and usually these small, regional companies only sell coverage through independent insurance agents.

Like your site, BTW. Located in Lewiston, ME. Can’t remember who all I quoted but I ended up saving about $30 each month. I have a couple other vehicles on the policy. It’s only liability tho.
Corrie Diaz
Mine is so expensive. From Raleigh, North Carolina. I got free quotes with AAA, Encompass, and Mercury for my CL-Class and saved around $70 a year. Online quotes are the way to go. Not worth enough to pay for comprehensive and collision.

Not sure what I should be paying. From a town just southwest of Warwick, Rhode Island. Quoted with AIG Insurance, Sentry, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class and I’m now saving $19 a month. Teenage drivers are expensive!

Like your site, BTW. Got a quote with Encompass for my CL-Class and saved around $90 a year. My new agent seems to be really good. It’s too old for full coverage.
