How much does Mercury cost?

The great thing about Mercury Insurance is that they’ve done a good job of positioning themselves as affordable. But still, many still have questions about how much Mercury auto insurance costs.

Let us assure you, they are affordable. In fact, their policyholders are generally satisfied with the company’s cheap car insurance rates, saying they feel like they get a lot of coverage for the money. Of course, the cost of Mercury insurance is influenced heavily by your own personal circumstances, including:

  • Your driving record. If you’ve had tickets, traffic violations, or claims in the past 3-5 years, you’ll get dinged.
  • Your age: Drivers under 25 usually pay a lot more — although U.S. News reports that Travelers offers affordable rates for younger drivers.
  • Your credit history. In many states, having poor credit means you’ll pay more for insurance. But if you have good credit, you can save.
  • The type of coverage you choose. The cheapest coverage will always be a state-minimum policy, although you may need more protection for yourself and your vehicle.
  • Where you live. Your state of residence can have a huge impact on your car insurance bill, whether you live in a pricey state like Louisiana or Michigan or one where insurance is cheap, like Maine or North Dakota.
  • Your personal life. Other factors affecting insurance costs include your marital status, address, and the car you drive.

The best way to know if Mercury insurance has the right price for you is to get a quote from one of their agents or start a quote online.

How do I buy Mercury Insurance?

Mercury insurance is typically offered through independent insurance agents. In fact, IronPoint Insurance Services, LLC is an independent agent, but we no longer represent Mercury. You can also find Mercury offered in some comparison quote sites, like Compare.com, and The Zebra.
