Mercedes-Benz is a brand synonymous with luxury and safety.
Along with Audi and BMW it forms part of the German “Big 3” and, with them, is one of the best selling luxury car manufacturers in the world.
Mercedes-Benz has always been a forerunner in innovation has introduced many technological and safety innovations which have became commonplace in vehicles by other manufacturers. With this and their reputation for quality and durability it could be easy to think that your Mercedes-Benz is infallible but these cars are not immune to theft and accidents and you may want to consider Mercedes-Benz GAP Insurance from ALA.
Mercedes-Benz models regularly feature in lists detailing “Most Stolen Cars” – their high specification and desirability making them a target for thieves.
Also, as of 18th March 2013, Japanese prosecutors are deciding whether to prosecute drivers of a convoy of luxury cars – one being a Mercedes-Benz – following on from the world’s most expensive car crash in December 2011.
If your Mercedes-Benz is declared a total loss by your comprehensive insurer, they will only pay you the amount your car is worth at that time. This will most likely be much less than you originally paid for the car if you purchased it outright, or if you have finance, will leave you with outstanding finance on a car that you no longer have.
If you have your Mercedes-Benz on Contract Hire or Lease then, you may not realise it, but you may be liable for up to 100% of the outstanding rentals should that car be written off. This could leave you severely out of pocket, particularly at the start of the lease.
