What are the levels of coverage for Mercedes insurance

There are three levels of coverage available in the UK:

Third party (TPO): This is the minimum level of car insurance required under UK law, and is essentially intended to protect other drivers when you take to the roads. To that end third party insurance covers the cost of damage to a third party’s vehicle if you’re involved in an accident and you were at fault, but it isn’t always the best car insurance policy (even if it is occasionally the more affordable car insurance option) because it will not cover the cost of repairing or replacing your own vehicle.

Third party, fire, and theft (TPFT): This is similar to third party insurance, but will also pay out if your own car is stolen or damaged by fire.

Comprehensive cover: As the name suggests, fully-comp is the most comprehensive level of cover a driver can take out in the UK, and as such it’s generally the best car insurance option. This type of policy includes everything that’s covered by TPFT, but will also cover the cost of repairing or replacing the vehicle of an at-fault driver. This type of insurance will also pay out if you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, which isn’t covered by lower levels of cover.

Will modifications affect my quote?

Yes, most modifications will impact the amount you are quoted for Mercedes Benz insurance. Most providers will accept up to two modifications per vehicle. It is also worth noting that insurers may not offer cover for certain types of modifications at all.

What level of excess should I pay?

If you have the option to increase how much excess you pay, you should consider it. The more excess you agree to pay, the lower your monthly premium will be. There is no set amount that you should offer to pay. However, some insurers may require a minimum excess level to be met. This is something you should check when comparing different policies.

Why is it important to compare providers?

The most obvious reason you should compare insurers is that it can save you money. Different insurance providers will offer different quotes. The exact same type of policy may cost way more from one insurer than it does for another. Comparing your options enables you to find the cheapest quote matched to your needs.

It’s also important to compare providers because not all of them offer the same reliable service. Take a look at some of their customers’ reviews to see what other users of their services have to say about them.
