2006 BMW M6 Car Insurance Quotes – 10 Discounts for Cheaper Rates

Did you fall for a flashy sales pitch and buy an overpriced insurance policy? Trust us, you’re not alone.

There are many insurers to insure vehicles with, and although it’s a good thing to have a choice, so many choices can make it hard to locate the cheapest rates.

Do you qualify for a discount?

Car insurance can cost a lot, but you can get discounts to cut the cost considerably. Most are applied when you get a quote, but a few must be requested specifically before being credited.

  • More Vehicles More Savings – Buying insurance for multiple cars or trucks on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
  • Safe Drivers – Safe drivers may receive a discount up to 45% less for M6 coverage than their less cautious counterparts.
  • 55 and Retired – Older drivers may receive better insurance coverage rates for M6 coverage.
  • Pay Now and Pay Less – If you pay your bill all at once instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.
  • Discount for New Cars – Buying coverage on a new vehicle can cost up to 25% less compared to insuring an older model.
  • Homeowners Discount – Being a homeowner can help you save on insurance coverage because owning a home shows financial diligence.
  • Anti-lock Brakes – Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes can reduce accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Drive Less and Save – Fewer annual miles on your BMW could qualify for discounted rates on garaged vehicles.
  • Driver’s Ed – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to successfully complete driver’s ed class if offered at their school.
  • Passive Restraint Discount – Cars that have air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can get savings up to 30%.

Keep in mind that some credits don’t apply to the entire cost. Some only apply to individual premiums such as comp or med pay. So when the math indicates having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it just doesn’t work that way. But all discounts will bring down your overall premium however.

Can switching companies really save?

Auto insurance providers like GEICO, State Farm and Progressive continually stream ads in print and on television. They all have a common claim about savings after switching your coverage to them. How does each company make almost identical claims?

Insurance companies are able to cherry pick for the type of driver that earns them a profit. A good example of a desirable insured could be between 30 and 50, owns a home, and has great credit. Any driver who fits that profile will qualify for the lowest rates and most likely will save quite a bit of money when switching.

Potential customers who do not match this ideal profile will have to pay more money and ends up with business not being written. The ads say “people who switch” not “people who quote” save that kind of money. This is how companies can make the claims of big savings.

Because of the profiling, it’s extremely important to get as many comparisons as possible. It is impossible to predict the company that will fit your personal profile best.

Insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 2006 BMW M6.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Usually the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays for damage to your M6 from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers things such as rolling your car, driving through your garage door, hitting a parking meter and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability – This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. 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. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as court costs, medical services and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as hitting a bird, hail damage, damage from flooding, theft and rock chips in glass. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses like hospital visits, nursing services and dental work. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
