2013 BMW M5 Insurance Rates

Overwhelmed by the number of car insurance options? You have a lot of company. Consumers have so many options available that it can quickly become a ton of work to find the best price.

BMW M5 premiums are determined by many factors

Smart consumers have a good feel for the rating factors that go into determining insurance rates. When you know what positively or negatively controls the rates you pay helps enable you to make changes that will entitle you to big savings.

  • Clean credit earns discounts – Your credit history is a large factor in determining what you pay for insurance. If your credit rating is not that good, you could be paying less to insure your 2013 BMW M5 by spending a little time repairing your credit. Drivers with excellent credit tend to file fewer claims and have better driving records as compared to drivers with lower credit scores.
  • Add-on coverages can add up – There are a lot of extra bells and whistles that you can get tricked into buying on your 2013 M5 policy. Coverages like vanishing deductibles, accidental death and term life insurance are examples of these. They may seem like a good idea at first, but if they’re wasting money get rid of them and save.
  • Protect your assets with liability insurance – The liability section of your policy is the coverage that protects you in the event that you are found to be at fault for personal injury or accident damage. It provides legal defense coverage starting from day one. Liability is cheap compared to insuring for physical damage coverage, so buy as much as you can afford.
  • High deductibles save money – Physical damage insurance, otherwise known as comp (or other than collision) and collision, protects your BMW from damage. A few examples of covered claims are collision with another vehicle, damage caused by hail, and windstorm damage. Your deductibles are the amount of money you are required to spend out-of-pocket before a claim is paid by your company. The more money you have to pay, the less your insurance will be on M5 coverage.
  • Pleasure use or commuting – The more miles you rack up on your BMW in a year the higher your rates will be. Almost all companies charge to insure your cars based on their usage. Cars used primarily for pleasure use qualify for better rates compared to those used for work or business. An improperly rated M5 may be wasting your money. Double check that your insurance policy is showing how each vehicle is driven.

Policy discounts you shouldn’t miss

Auto insurance companies do not advertise every available discount very clearly, so we researched some of the more common and the harder-to-find discounts you could be receiving.

  • Pay Now and Pay Less – If paying your policy premium upfront instead of paying each month you could save up to 5%.
  • Drive Safe and Save – Drivers who avoid accidents can pay as much as 50% less on M5 coverage than less cautious drivers.
  • Memberships – Belonging to certain professional organizations is a good way to get lower rates on your policy on M5 coverage.
  • No Charge for an Accident – A handful of insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before raising your premiums as long as you don’t have any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Government Employees – Employees or retirees of the government may qualify you for a discount on M5 coverage with a few insurance companies.
  • College Student – Any of your kids living away from home attending college and do not have a car may be able to be covered for less.
  • Discount for Good Grades – This discount can save 20 to 25%. This discount can apply until age 25.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Being deployed with a military unit could be rewarded with lower premiums.
  • Early Switch Discount – A few companies offer discounts for signing up prior to your current policy expiration. It’s a savings of about 10%.
  • Homeowners Discount – Owning a house may trigger a insurance policy discount because of the fact that having a home shows financial diligence.

It’s important to note that most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. Some only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies don’t profit that way.

Car insurance companies that possibly offer these benefits include:

It’s a good idea to ask each company which discounts they offer. Discounts may not apply in your area.

Insurance agents can help

When it comes to buying the best insurance coverage coverage, there is no best way to insure your cars. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining whether your personal situation may require specific advice.

  • Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
  • When should my teen driver be added to my policy?
  • Does my policy cover my teen driver if they drive my company car?
  • Is rental equipment covered for theft or damage?
  • What companies insure drivers after a DUI or DWI?
  • Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
  • Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
  • Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form.

Insurance policy coverages for a BMW M5

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can help you determine the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

UM/UIM Coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your BMW M5.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from a tornado or hurricane and damage from flooding. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical costs insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for hospital visits, pain medications and nursing services. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a mailbox and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Liability insurance – This protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against things such as medical expenses, attorney fees, loss of income and court costs. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

In any little way, save everyday

Lower-priced 2013 BMW M5 insurance is attainable both online as well as from independent agents, and you need to price shop both so you have a total pricing picture. A few companies don’t offer online price quotes and usually these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through local independent agents.

Consumers who switch companies do it for a number of reasons such as policy non-renewal, being labeled a high risk driver, denial of a claim or even questionable increases in premium. It doesn’t matter what your reason, choosing a new insurance company can be easy and end up saving you some money.

As you shop your coverage around, it’s a bad idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are too many instances where an insured cut physical damage coverage only to find out that the savings was not a smart move. Your aim should be to purchase plenty of coverage at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.
