Save on Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren insurance

Three Steps to Cheaper Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Insurance

If comparing car insurance was easy, most of us would do it more often. But we always seem to pay too much for coverage and most people would rather go to the dentist. Buying insurance on your Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren might leave you feeling the same way.

Step One: Compare Multiple Rates

If you haven't priced insurance for awhile, you may still think that the only way to compare rates is to drive around town to multiple insurance offices and meet with an agent. Times have changed!

All the major car insurance companies sell insurance for a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and you don't even have to visit each individual website!

To begin, click on the link below and complete the short form. It only takes a few minutes and it's helpful to have your current policy handy if you have one.

Apples-to-Apples! When doing comparison quotes for your SLR McLaren, it's very important that you use the same liability limits and physical damage deductibles on each quote. Otherwise you will not be able to accurately determine which company has the lowest rates.

Step Two: Techniques to Lower your SLR McLaren Insurance Rates

After completing step one above, you can now learn some of the other ways to slash your SLR McLaren insurance costs.

Step Three: Make an Informed Buying Decision

Car insurance is pretty easy to buy online, but you do need to be aware that it is a legally binding contract. You need to have funds available for a down payment as well as review your coverages for any insufficiencies.

On your new policy, double check that the effective date is the same as the date you are cancelling your old policy. This avoids any lapse in coverage which can cause an increase in your rates.

If this is a new policy with only the Mercedes-Benz on it, be sure to have coverage before leaving the dealership or car lot. If you're adding it to an existing policy, you have anywhere from 15 to 30 days depending on the company. Most car insurance companies will extend coverage to newly purchased vehicles, but only up to the limits of the best insured vehicle. So if you only carry liability insurance and no physical damage coverage, your new purchase will be inadequately insured until you specifically add it to the policy with full coverage.

Be sure to replace any old proof-of-insurance cards in your car. You must always have the current card in your vehicle as required by state law. If you qualilfy as a high-risk driver after being convicted of a DUI, reckless driving or driving on a suspended license, you may be required to file an SR-22 with your state's DMV. Be sure your new car insurance company is aware of this filing requirement.
