The insurance on your Mercedes-Benz will be affected by the insurer you choose, the specific model you have, your driving history and your personal details, such as where you live. As a luxury brand, Mercedes-Benz prices its vehicles at a premium, and you’re likely to pay handsomely to insure yours.
The most common model on UK roads is the A-Class so we’ve used that to get some example quotes, to give you an idea. In our scenario, Your actual cost could be more or less depending on your driving record, your annual mileage as well as other factors.
Generally, the pricier the model, the higher the insurance premium because the car will be costly to repair or replace. Other factors that insurance companies consider when determining the cost of insurance include the car’s safety rating and its likelihood of being stolen. While the car’s safety rating works in your favour, the fact that it’s far more appealing to thieves unfortunately doesn’t.
