Have you had enough of scraping the payment together to insure your Mercedes-Benz every month? You’re in the same situation as many other consumers. Online insurance companies like Progressive, State Farm and GEICO all promote huge savings with ad campaigns and consumers find it hard to separate fact from fiction and effectively compare rates to find the best deal.
You should take the time to compare prices every six months because prices are adjusted regularly by insurance companies. Despite the fact that you may have had the best price on R320 Bluetec insurance last year other companies may now be cheaper. So ignore everything you know about car insurance because it’s time to teach you the tricks you need to know to remove unneeded coverages and save money.
Comprehensive Car Insurance Comparison Quotes
Finding a lower price on Mercedes-Benz R320 Bluetec insurance is a fairly straight forward process. The only thing you need to do is take a couple of minutes to compare rate quotes online with multiple companies. This can be done in a couple of different ways.
- The most efficient way consumers can make multiple comparisons is a comparison rater form like this one (opens in new window). This form saves time by eliminating separate quote forms for each company. One form will get you rate comparisons from car insurance companies with the best prices.
- A more difficult way to get quotes online requires a trip to each company website to complete a price quote. For examples sake, let’s assume you want comparison quotes from Allstate, 21st Century and GMAC. To get rate quotes you would need to visit each site and enter your policy data, which is why most consumers use the first method.

- The least efficient method of comparing rate quotes is to drive around to different agent offices. Shopping for car insurance online can eliminate the need for a local agent unless you have a need for the professional advice that only a license agent can provide. Drivers can price shop online but buy from a local insurance agent. We’ll cover that shortly.
It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just double check that you are using apples-to-apples coverage information for each comparison quote. If you have mixed coverages then you won’t be able to make a fair comparison for your Mercedes-Benz R320 Bluetec.
More discounts equal less premium
Companies that sell car insurance don’t necessarily list every discount very clearly, so the following is a list of some of the best known as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving. If you’re not getting every credit possible, you’re just leaving money on the table.
- Own a Home – Simply owning a home can help you save on car insurance because maintaining a house shows financial diligence.
- Auto/Life Discount – Companies who offer life insurance give a discount if you purchase life insurance from them.
- Drivers Education – Have your child successfully complete driver’s ed class in school.
- Multi-policy Discount – When you have multiple policies with one insurance company you may save 10% to 20% off each policy.
- Save with a New Car – Buying coverage on a new vehicle can be considerably cheaper compared to insuring an older model.
- Use Seat Belts – Requiring all passengers to wear their seat belts could cut 10% or more on the medical payments or PIP coverage costs.
- Senior Discount – Older drivers may receive a discount up to 10% on R320 Bluetec insurance.
- Organization Discounts – Being a member of certain professional organizations could qualify you for a break on car insurance on R320 Bluetec insurance.
- Payment Discounts – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time instead of paying each month you could save up to 5%.
- Passive Restraint Discount – Vehicles equipped with air bags or automatic seat belts can get savings of more than 20%.
Drivers should understand that most credits do not apply to the entire cost. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as physical damage coverage or medical payments. Just because you may think all the discounts add up to a free policy, car insurance companies aren’t that generous.
