How to reduce BMW M5 insurance rates

Companies don’t always list all their discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we took the time to find some of the best known as well as the least known savings tricks you should be using.

  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings – Fewer annual miles on your BMW can qualify you for lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
  • More Vehicles More Savings – Having multiple cars or trucks with the same company can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • E-sign – Some insurance companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy on their website.
  • Payment Discounts – If paying your policy premium upfront instead of making monthly payments you may reduce your total bill.
  • No Charge for an Accident – A handful of insurance companies permit an accident before raising your premiums so long as you haven’t had any claims for a certain period of time.
  • Sign Early and Save – Some insurance companies reward drivers for buying a policy prior to your current policy expiration. It can save you around 10%.
  • Passive Restraint Discount – Cars that have air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can qualify for discounts of more than 20%.

A little note about advertised discounts, most credits do not apply to the entire cost. Some only reduce specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. Even though it may seem like all those discounts means the company will pay you, it just doesn’t work that way.

Insurance companies that may offer some of the above discounts include:

Complexity of BMW M5 insurance rates

Smart consumers have a good feel for some of the elements that play a part in calculating insurance rates. Having a good understanding of what controls the rates you pay empowers consumers to make smart changes that will entitle you to much lower annual insurance costs.

Shown below are a few of the “ingredients” used by your company to calculate prices.

  • Increase deductibles and save – Physical damage insurance, commonly called comprehensive (or other-than-collision) and collision coverage, is used to repair damage to your BMW. Some examples of claims that would be covered could be running into the backend of another car, damage caused by hail, and windstorm damage. Physical damage deductibles are how much you are required to spend out-of-pocket before a claim is paid by your company. The more money the insured has to pay upfront, the bigger discount you will receive on M5 insurance.
  • Credit scores impact insurance rates – A driver’s credit rating is a important factor in determining what you pay for insurance. People with high credit scores tend to be more responsible than those with lower ratings. If your credit rating can use some improvement, you could save money insuring your 1993 BMW M5 by repairing your credit.
  • Men are more aggressive – Statistics have proven that men are more aggressive behind the wheel. That doesn’t necessarily mean that men are WORSE drivers than women. Women and men are in accidents in similar percentages, but the men cause more damage. Men also statistically have more aggressive citations like reckless driving and DUI. Teenage male drivers are most likely to cause an accident and thus pay the highest rates.
  • Where you live can impact rates – Living in less populated areas is a positive aspect when buying insurance. City drivers have to deal with more traffic problems and a longer drive to work. Lower population means reduced accidents as well as less vandalism and auto theft.
  • Being married is a good thing – Getting married can get you a discount when buying insurance. It usually means you are more mature than a single person it has been statistically shown that married drivers get in fewer accidents.
  • Rates may be higher depending on your occupation – Did you know your job can affect your rates? Occupations like doctors, social workers and stock brokers are shown to have the highest rates in part from stressful work requirements and lots of time spent at work. On the other hand, jobs such as farmers, students and performers pay the least on M5 insurance.

Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Everyone’s needs are different and your policy should reflect that. These are some specific questions might point out whether you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • Am I covered if I hit a deer?
  • When would I need additional glass coverage?
  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
  • Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
  • Do I need roadside assistance coverage?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Can switching companies really save?

Insurance companies such as State Farm and Allstate constantly bombard you with ads in print and on television. They all seem to say the same thing of big savings if you switch to them. How does each company claim to save you money?

All companies are able to cherry pick for the type of customer that earns them a profit. For example, a driver they prefer might be profiled as a mature driver, has no prior claims, and has a short commute. A propective insured who fits that profile receives the best rates and as a result will probably save when they switch companies.

Potential insureds who don’t qualify for the requirements will be quoted a higher premium which usually ends up with business not being written. The ads state “customers that switch” not “everyone that quotes” save that much money. That’s why companies can make the claims of big savings. This emphasizes why it’s extremely important to get a wide range of price quotes. You cannot predict which insurance company will give you the biggest savings on BMW M5 insurance.

Coverage specifics

Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverages available from insurance companies.

Liability auto insurance

This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for 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. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as pain and suffering, attorney fees, bail bonds, structural damage and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, rock chips in glass and theft. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses like prosthetic devices, pain medications, X-ray expenses and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 1993 BMW M5.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your M5 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things like crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a mailbox and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Take this to the bank

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s very important that you do not skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There are a lot of situations where someone sacrificed collision coverage and found out when filing a claim that they should have had better coverage. Your aim should be to purchase plenty of coverage at an affordable rate while still protecting your assets.

Lower-priced 1993 BMW M5 insurance is definitely available online and with local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture.
