background
Mercedes-Benz Motor Finance allows customers to make payments online, by phone, by mail, or by third-party services, like Western Union or MoneyGram. 
If you need to make a payment on your Mercedes-Benz and don’t know how, we’ve got you covered with a rundown of all the options. And if you’re considering a Mercedes-Benz
car loan
or lease, we’ll go over average monthly payments for most of the automaker’s best-selling 2022 models to help you estimate your costs. 

How to pay your Mercedes-Benz car bill

The simplest and most convenient method of paying your Mercedes-Benz car bill is through automatic payments. You can enroll at your dealership, online at
mbfs.com
, or by calling the Client Car Center at 800.654.6222.
However, if you don’t have autopay set up, and you need to make a one-time payment, you still have lots of options.

Online

To set up autopay or make a one-time online payment, log into your account at
mbfs.com
. After logging in, you’ll be prompted to select the date on which you’d like your payment to be processed and whether you’d like to set this up as a recurring monthly payment. 

By app or smartphone

Download the Mercedes me app or visit
mbfs.com/mobile
to make payments via Apple or Android smartphones.

By phone

To pay by phone, call the Client Care Center at 800.654.6222. Customers can make payments using checking or savings accounts or debit or credit cards.

By mail

If you prefer to kick it old school, Mercedes still allows customers to pay by mail. If you choose this method, you’ll receive a monthly bill in the mail
Customers must make their payment by check and should be sure to include their account number in the memo section of the check. Your bill will contain a pre-addressed envelope, but, just in case, you should mail your payment, along with your statement stub, to:

Can I make my Mercedes-Benz payments with a credit card?

Yes, but only if you pay by phone. All other methods of payment require a checking or savings account number.

Is there a grace period for Mercedes-Benz car payments?

Mercedes-Benz employs a standard 10-day grace period for late loan and lease payments. If you’ve run into financial difficulties, Mercedes Financial Services can work with you to set up a payment deferral if you qualify. Deferrals normally last one month, but can be offered for up to three months in special circumstances. 
Keep in mind that a deferred payment is not a canceled payment—you will still be responsible for making all deferred payments once your normal payment schedule resumes.

Starting MSRPs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles range from about $38,000 on the low end to well over $100,000 on the high end, with many of the most popular models falling solidly in the middle of this range.

How much you wind up paying for your Mercedes-Benz will depend on a number of factors in addition to those considered here. Key among them are your sales price, the amount of your down payment, your credit score, your previous vehicle’s trade-in value, the loan or lease term you choose, and, of course, any incentives or special programs your dealership may be running at the time of your purchase.
