Discounts applied include safe-driver, homeowner, multi-vehicle, multi-policy, and claim-free. Estimates do not factor in the specific area where the vehicle is garaged which can raise or lower coverage prices noticeably.

Policy deductibles

One frequently asked question is where to set your physical damage deductibles. The comparison tables below outline the premium difference when you buy lower versus higher comp and collision deductibles. The first data set uses a $250 physical damage coverage deductible and the second rate chart uses a $1,000 deductible.

Discounts applied include multi-vehicle, safe-driver, claim-free, homeowner, and multi-policy. Prices do not factor in garaging location in El Paso which can revise price quotes greatly.

We can estimate from the data above that using a $250 deductible would cost the average driver about $39 more each month or $468 each year averaged for all E350 models than selecting the higher $1,000 deductible. Because you would pay $750 more to file a claim with a $1,000 deductible as compared to a $250 deductible, if you average more than 19 months between claim filings, you would probably save some money if you choose a higher deductible.

Insurance does more than just repair your car

Despite the high cost, buying insurance is required by state law in Texas and it also provides benefits you may not be aware of.

• Almost all states have minimum liability requirements which means the state requires a specific level of liability insurance in order to license the vehicle. In Texas these limits are 30/60/25 which means you must have $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $60,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you have a loan on your vehicle, more than likely the lender will stipulate that you have physical damage coverage to guarantee payment of the loan. If you default on your policy, the bank or lender will purchase a policy for your Mercedes-Benz at a significantly higher premium and require you to pay for the much more expensive policy.
• Insurance preserves your car and your assets. It also can pay for hospital and medical expenses incurred in an accident. Liability coverage also covers legal expenses if you are sued as the result of your driving. If you receive damage to your vehicle caused by a storm or accident, comprehensive and/or collision insurance will pay to repair the damage minus the deductible amount.

The benefits of insuring your E350 are definitely more than the cost, particularly if you ever have a claim. According to a survey of 1,000 drivers, the average driver is wasting up to $800 each year so shop around at every renewal to make sure the price is not too high.

Why Informed Drivers Pay Less for Mercedes-Benz E350 Insurance

Multiple criteria are considered when pricing auto insurance. Some factors are common sense such as traffic violations, although others are not as apparent such as whether you are married or your commute time.

How's your driving record? - Having a clean driving record influences premium rates substantially. Careful drivers get better prices compared to bad drivers. Even a single moving violation may increase your cost substantially. Drivers with severe citations like hit and run, DWI or reckless driving convictions may be required to prove financial responsibility with their state in order to legally drive a vehicle.

The diagram below demonstrates how citations and fender-benders can drive up Mercedes-Benz E350 insurance prices for different ages of insureds. The rate quotes are based on a married male driver, comp and collision included, $500 deductibles, and no additional discounts are factored in.

Married people drive safer - Your spouse may cut your premiums on your auto insurance bill. Having a spouse generally demonstrates drivers are more mature and statistics prove drivers who are married file infrequent claims.

High premiums for younger drivers - Inexperience drivers have a tendency to be easily distracted when driving with friends so auto insurance rates are higher. Older, more experienced drivers have been proven to be more responsible, tend to file fewer claims, and usually have better credit.

The following data uses these variables: single driver, full coverage with $100 deductibles, and no discounts or violations.

Tough occupation may mean higher rates - Do you have a high-stress occupation? Jobs like military generals, executives, and financial analysts tend to pay higher average rates due to high stress levels and extremely grueling work hours. Conversely, careers such as farmers, historians and homemakers pay the least.

Better auto insurance rates on safer vehicles - Cars with five star safety ratings tend to have lower insurance rates. Vehicles engineered for safety help reduce the chance of injuries in an accident and better occupant protection means less money paid by your insurance company and cheaper rates on your policy. If your Mercedes-Benz E350 earned at least four stars on Safercar.gov or an "acceptable" rating on iihs.org it may cost less to insure.

Rates impacted by vehicle usage - Driving more miles annually the more you'll pay to insure it. The majority of insurers charge rates based upon how the vehicle is primarily used. Vehicles that have low annual miles can get a lower rate than those that get driven frequently. Incorrect rating for your E350 may be costing you. Make sure your policy is showing how each vehicle is driven, because improper ratings can cost you money.

Gals tend to be lower risk - Over the last 30 years, statistics show women are more cautious behind the wheel. This data doesn't prove that men are WORSE drivers than women. Both genders are responsible for accidents at a similar rate, but males tend to have more serious accidents. Men also statistically get cited for more serious violations such as reckless driving.

The diagram below compares Mercedes-Benz E350 car insurance rates for male and female drivers. The rate quotes are based on no violations or claims, full physical damage coverage, $500 deductibles, drivers are single, and no discounts are factored in.

Only buy extra coverages you need - There are quite a few optional add-on coverages that you can buy if you don't pay attention. Things like personal injury protection, high-cost glass coverage, and membership fees are some examples. These may sound like a good investment when you first buy your policy, but your needs may have changed so get rid of them and save.

As soon as coverage is bound, keep your new certificate verifying coverage in your glove compartment.
