Consumers have lots of choices when looking for the best price on Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class insurance. You can either waste hours driving around to get rate comparisons or save time using the internet to compare rates.
There are both good and bad ways to find car insurance online so you’re going to learn the absolute fastest way to get price quotes on a Mercedes-Benz and locate the cheapest rates either online or from local insurance agents.
Car insurance is not an enjoyable expense, but you might be missing out on some discounts that could drop your premiums quite a bit. Many discounts should be triggered when you complete an application, but some need to be specifically requested in order for you to get them.
Don’t be surprised that most discounts do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only cut individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. Despite the fact that it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you aren’t that lucky.
Larger car insurance companies and their possible discounts are included below.
Check with every prospective company which discounts they offer. A few discounts may not apply to policies in your state. To view companies who offer cheap car insurance quotes, follow this link.
Finding low cost insurance coverage quotes can be relatively painless. You just have to invest a little time comparing rates to find out which insurance company has low cost insurance coverage quotes. This can be done by using one of the methods below.
One of the best ways to get quotes would be an industry-wide quote request form (click to open form in new window). This easy form prevents you from having to do boring form submissions for every company. A single, simple form gets coverage cost estimates from multiple low-cost companies. It’s the fastest way to compare.
A more difficult way to analyze rates is to take the time to go to each company’s website and complete a new quote form. For sake of this example, we’ll assume you want to compare Farmers, Allstate and Travelers. To find out each rate you need to navigate to each company’s site and repeatedly enter your information, which can be really labor intensive. For a list of companies in your area, click here.
The approach you take is up to you, just make absolute certain that you use apples-to-apples coverage limits for each quote you get. If you use mixed coverages it will be nearly impossible to get a fair rate comparison.
When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage, there is no one size fits all plan. Each situation is unique.
Here are some questions about coverages that may help highlight whether your personal situation might need professional guidance.
If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form. It only takes a few minutes and can help protect your family.
Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for bills for chiropractic care, doctor visits and EMT expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers you and your 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 may carry a deductible
Collision coverage pays for damage to your GLK-Class from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a parking meter, sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as vandalism, hail damage, damage from flooding, falling objects and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. 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.
We just presented a lot of tips how to save on 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class insurance. The key concept to understand is the more quotes you get, the better chance you’ll have of finding cheaper insurance coverage. Consumers could even find that the lowest auto insurance rates are with a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising.
Drivers who switch companies do it for any number of reasons including not issuing a premium refund, unfair underwriting practices, policy non-renewal or delays in paying claims. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a great new company can be easier than you think.
As you prepare to switch companies, never buy poor coverage just to save money. In many instances, consumers will sacrifice comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. The ultimate goal is to buy a smart amount of coverage for the lowest cost, but do not skimp to save money.

Thanks for putting this site together. I’m in the suburbs of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Got car insurance quotes with Western Auto Insurance, AIG Insurance, Hanover, and Nationwide for my Mercedes-Benz and I think I saved about $50 each month. Have a couple speeding tickets too.

GEICO is cheapest in New Mexico! :)

Hope my rates come down. I’m in Indianapolis, Indiana. Quoted prices from Amica, Nationwide, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class and saved around $500 a year. Insured with MetLife before.

If you’re a decent driver and live near Hartford, CT, check out GEICO. They seem to be cheaper. Not sure if rates are cheaper online or through an agent.

IT’S ALL TOO EXPENSIVE! I’m in the suburbs of Omaha, NE. Quoted with AIG Insurance, Erie, and Safeco for my Mercedes-Benz and I think I cut my rates about $40 each month. BTW speeding tickets are not good. Get lots of quotes to find the best rate.

I live just outside Manchester, NH. I compared lots of rates. Saved right around $30 a month. State Farm was the best choice for me. Insured with AIG Insurance before.

In Honolulu, HI try Allstate or Progressive. Both had decent prices.

I got decent rates for a 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class in Dover, DE. Ended up at darn near $130 every six months with Auto-Owners. I have a teen driver too.
Candice Wallace
I live on the south side of Lewiston, Maine and for me 21st Century had the lowest quote. A clean driving record helps. :P

Not sure if this is cheap. I’m in the suburbs of Memphis, Tennessee. Got car insurance prices from Progressive, American Family, and some I forget for my Mercedes-Benz and saved just over $200 a year. Can still barely afford it.

Progressive is pretty cheap in Texas! :)
