What factors determine the rate you pay?

Insurance rates for a Mercury Monterey will vary greatly and are calculated by many factors. Taken into consideration are:

  • Tickets increase premiums
  • Your credit history
  • Where you reside can make a big difference
  • How many miles you drive
  • Male rates may be higher
  • Deductible amount directly impacts your rate
  • Your vehicle's safety rating
  • Your profession
  • The amount of protection requested
  • Whether you rent or own your home

One last important factor that will help determine the rate you pay on your Mercury is the year of manufacture. Older cars and trucks have a reduced actual cash value so repair costs tend to be lower which may end up costing you less. But newer vehicles may have options including lane departure warning system, dual-stage airbags, and sideview assist mirrors so those may lower rates.

Liability coverage

This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. Liability insurance covers things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. It is cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your Mercury caused by collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. Monterey collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle's occupants when the "other guys" either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay.
