How Much Does 2014 Bentley Mulsanne Insurance Cost?

High-priced Bentley Mulsanne insurance can bottom out your monthly budget and make it hard to pay other bills. Comparing price quotes can lower your rates and help to ensure you are getting the best deal.

Insurance companies such as GEICO and Progressive increase brand awareness with ads and it is difficult to ignore the flying pigs and cute green geckos and find the best price available.

Insurance premium influencing factors

One of the most helpful ways to save on car insurance is to to have a grasp of the rating factors that are used to determine the rates you pay for car insurance. When consumers understand what determines premiums, this allows you to make good choices that could help you find lower premium levels.

The items below are a few of the “ingredients” used by companies to determine your premiums.

  • Raising comp and collision deductibles lowers premiums – Physical damage protection, commonly called comprehensive (or other-than-collision) and collision coverage, is used to repair damage to your Bentley. Some examples of covered claims could be running into the backend of another car, collision with an animal, and rolling your vehicle. Physical damage deductibles are how much you are willing to pay out-of-pocket if a claim is determined to be covered. The more money you’re willing to pay, the lower your rates will be for Mulsanne coverage.
  • Get hitched and pay less – Your spouse may earn you lower rates when buying car insurance. It generally demonstrates drivers are more stable financially and it’s proven that being married results in fewer claims.
  • Pay more by driving carelessly – Good drivers pay lower auto insurance prices than their less careful counterparts. Just one driving citation can increase rates by twenty percent. People who have dangerous tickets like DWI, reckless driving or hit and run convictions may be required to submit a SR-22 form with their state DMV in order to continue driving.
  • Cars with good safety ratings cost less to insure – Vehicles with high crash test scores tend to be cheaper to insure. These vehicles have better occupant injury protection and lower rates of occupant injuries means less money paid by your insurance company passed on to you as lower rates.
  • Miles driven impacts prices – The more miles you rack up on your Bentley each year the higher the price you pay to insure it. Almost all companies price each vehicle’s coverage determined by how the vehicle is used. Cars and trucks left parked in the garage receive lower rates than those used for commuting. Incorrect rating for your Mulsanne is just wasting money. Make sure your vehicle rating correctly shows the correct usage.
  • Too many insurance claims drive up rates – Car insurance companies provide the best rates to people who only file infrequent claims. If you tend to file frequent claims, you can definitely plan on higher rates. Your insurance policy is meant to be used in the event of the large, substantial claims.
  • Liability is cheap – A critical coverage on your policy, liability insurance will protect you if ever a jury decides you are liable for causing personal injury or damage in an accident. Liability insurance provides you with a defense in court up to the limits shown on your policy. It is affordable coverage compared to insuring for physical damage coverage, so insureds should have plenty of protection for their assets.

The easiest way to get rate comparisons is to take advantage of the fact most insurance companies have advanced systems to quote your coverage. To start a quote, the only thing you need to do is provide the companies a bit of rating information including if the vehicle is leased, what your job is, if you have a valid license, and if you went to college. That rating information is then submitted to multiple insurance providers and you receive quotes very quickly.

Insurance rates and discounts

Insurance is not cheap nor is it fun to buy but there’s a good chance there are discounts that could drop your premiums quite a bit. Most are applied at quote time, but a few need to be asked for before they will apply. If you are not receiving all the discounts possible, you’re just leaving money on the table.

  • Discounts for Safe Drivers – Drivers without accidents can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates for Mulsanne coverage than drivers with accidents.
  • Homeowners Savings – Being a homeowner may earn you a small savings due to the fact that maintaining a home shows financial diligence.
  • Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Forcing all vehicle occupants to buckle up can save a little off the personal injury premium cost.
  • College Student Discount – Older children who live away from home to go to college and do not have a car can be insured at a reduced rate.
  • Accident Free – Insureds with no claims or accidents can save substantially in comparison with insureds who have frequent claims or accidents.
  • Pay Upfront and Save – By paying your policy upfront rather than spreading payments over time you could save 5% or more.
  • Sign Online – Some insurance companies will provide an incentive get insurance on the internet.

Keep in mind that most discount credits are not given to the entire policy premium. Most only apply to specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. Just because it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you aren’t that lucky.

Situations that may require an agent’s advice

When it comes to choosing the best insurance coverage, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Every insured’s situation is different so your insurance needs to address that. For instance, these questions might help in determining if you could use an agent’s help.

  • When would I need additional glass coverage?
  • Can my babysitter drive my car?
  • If my 2014 Bentley Mulsanne is totaled, can I afford another vehicle?
  • I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
  • Should I get collision insurance on every vehicle?
  • Am I better off with higher deductibles on my 2014 Bentley Mulsanne?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, simply complete this short form or click here for a list of insurance companies in your area.

Insurance coverage specifics

Understanding the coverages of insurance can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as damage from getting keyed, hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane, fire damage and theft. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage covers damage to your Mulsanne resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims like backing into a parked car, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a mailbox, hitting a parking meter and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses for things like nursing services, EMT expenses, rehabilitation expenses and pain medications. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Bentley Mulsanne.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Liability insurance

This can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things such as attorney fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, court costs and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

The best insurance company isn’t always the cheapest

When buying insurance coverage, it’s not a good idea to reduce coverage to reduce premium. In many instances, an accident victim reduced liability coverage limits to discover at claim time that it was a big error on their part. Your goal should be to find the BEST coverage at the best possible price.

Budget-friendly auto insurance can be found both online and from local agencies, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance providers do not provide price quotes online and many times these small insurance companies prefer to sell through independent agents.
