How a vehicle from Mercedes-Benz affects insurance costs

The pricier purchase price of a Mercedes-Benz means your insurance will be higher as well because this is a costly car to replace or repair. Other factors that insurance companies consider when determining the cost of insurance include the car’s safety rating and its likelihood of being stolen. These last two factors work in your favor to help balance out the cost of insuring one of these luxury vehicles.

Most insurers will cover the bestselling Mercedes-Benz models. However, you may have fewer options with specific models — such as the Sprinter, some AMG vehicles, vintage cars and high-priced models.

Insuring a Mercedes-Benz: Pros and cons

Pros

About the Mercedes-Benz brand

Mercedes-Benz traces its origins to the 19th century when Carl Benz created the first automobile — the “Motorwagen” — in 1886. In the same year, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach constructed a petrol-powered stagecoach. The Mercedes-Benz brand was conceived decades later in 1926, through a merger of the companies founded by Daimler and Benz.

Over almost a century, Mercedes-Benz would craft coveted luxury cars and distribute them around the world. In 1963, the large and luxurious Mercedes-Benz 600 put the company in competition with the likes of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Cadillac. The elegant and well-equipped S-Class collection arrived in the 1970s. And a collaboration with AMG in the 1990s infused Mercedes-Benz models with racecar-like performance improvements.

Today, Mercedes-Benz competes with BMW, Audi and Lexus for the crown of the world’s bestselling luxury brand. It’s the top-selling luxury marque in the US, buoyed by the popular C-Class, GLE-Class and E-Class models.

Are there any standout Mercedes models?

One of Mercedes’ most sleek and luxurious vehicles, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class offers the ultimate in comfort. The 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 4matic included features like:

  • Ambient lighting.
  • Heated, ventilated and massaging seats.
  • Calf rests.
  • Voice-controlled dash and infotainment system.
  • Folding tables for the rear seats.

And its distinguished design extends to the vehicle’s performance. Advanced chassis technology, all-wheel drive and a 9-speed automatic, 4.0L twin-turbo V8 496-horsepower engine make for a powerful, smooth ride. And for those who like to cruise with speed, expect a zero to 60 acceleration of 4.7 seconds.

Base price starts at $184,900.

What’s the Mercedes Me program?

Mercedes Me allows drivers to access all of their car’s info and suite of connected services all in one place. Registered users can view their maintenance plan, view manuals and how-to videos, connect to a vehicle-tech expert and more. With the Mercedes Me app, you can start your engine remotely, lock and unlock the doors and sync with Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa.
