• Clubs and Organizations – Being a member of a civic or occupational organization may earn a discount on your policy for MKZ insurance.
• Military Rewards – Being on active duty in the military may qualify for rate reductions.
• Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Requiring all passengers to buckle their seat belts could cut 10% or more off your medical payments premium.
• Paperless Signup – A handful of insurance companies will give a small break for buying a policy and signing up online.

So when it seems like all those discounts means the company will pay you, companies don’t profit that way. Any amount of discount will help reduce the amount you have to pay.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to buying adequate coverage, there is no best way to insure your cars. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For instance, these questions can aid in determining whether you could use an agent’s help.

• Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver?
• Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
• Do I have coverage if my license is suspended?
• How high should my medical payments coverage be?
• Is upholstery damage covered by car insurance?
• Am I better off with higher deductibles on my 2008 Lincoln MKZ?
• Does my policy pay for OEM or aftermarket parts?
• Am I covered when using my vehicle for business?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form.

Insurance policy specifics

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Liability car insurance – Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

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. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against claims like medical expenses, legal defense fees, repair costs for stationary objects, court costs and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

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 is a good idea. Most of the time these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays for damage to your MKZ caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like crashing into a building, scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like hail damage, falling objects, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and fire damage. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for things like ambulance fees, nursing services, dental work, surgery and pain medications. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
