Californians save an average of $1,008* with Mercury Auto Insurance.

After an accident, the police report and the evidence are analyzed and if you are found to be at fault, your liability insurance will help cover the cost of vehicle repairs, medical expenses and other related expenses for the other driver(s), such as lost wages. If another driver is found to be at fault, their liability insurance will cover these expenses for you. Most states have fault-based insurance.

The cost of car insurance depends on a number of factors, including the vehicle you drive, where you live, your driving record, your age, your marital status, and more.

To find out exactly how much car insurance will cost you, speak to a Mercury agent by calling (800) 956-3728 or get a free quote above.

Your driving habits, vehicle, location and budget all determine how much coverage you need. You should consider the following when thinking about your car insurance coverage options:

• Your state may require you to have liability insurance.
• If you're making payments on your car, you may be required to have collision coverage.
• Choosing a higher deductible lowers the amount you pay for insurance, but it also increases the amount you pay out-of-pocket after a loss.
• If you have an older vehicle with a lower value, it might not make sense to pay for more expensive lines of coverage.

Taking the time to think about these things will put you on a path to better understand what level of car insurance you need. Mercury has more tips on this subject and we always recommend speaking with one of our agents. An agent can create a customized policy that is tailored to your needs.

Many states require drivers have liability insurance to make driving financially safe for everyone on the road. If you don't have the required amount of insurance, you may be subject to fines and the state might even revoke your license and registration.

Mercury offers optional rental coverage with various choices for how much coverage you prefer and for how many days you can drive one while your vehicle is being repaired following a covered loss.

If you plan on renting a vehicle while travelling anywhere in the United States or Canada, your policy will generally provide the same coverage you have for your own car; however, you will be liable for the deductible that applies to your insurance policy. Some vehicles, such as a moving truck or a motorcycle, are not covered by your regular insurance policy so you should always buy the rental company insurance coverage.

As a precaution, check with your agent before renting a car to find out exactly what your policy covers.
