It’s up to you how you get prices quotes, just compare nearly identical coverage limits on every quote. If your comparisons have mixed coverages then you won’t be able to determine the lowest rate for your Audi S7. Quoting even small variations in insurance coverages could mean much higher rates. Keep in mind that comparing more quotes will improve the odds of getting the best offered rates. Some insurance companies are not set up to provide prices over the internet, so you also need to get quotes from those companies as well.

Don’t miss these discounts

The price of auto insurance can be rather high, but there could be significant discounts that could drop your premiums quite a bit. Certain discounts will be applied when you complete an application, but some may not be applied and must be specially asked for prior to receiving the credit. If you aren’t receiving every discount you qualify for, you could be getting lower rates.

• No Claim Discounts – Good drivers with no accidents pay less in comparison with policyholders that have many claims.
• Professional Organizations – Being a member of certain professional organizations could trigger savings on your policy.
• Mature Driver Discount – Drivers that qualify as senior citizens can get lower premium rates for S7 coverage.
• Sign Online – A handful of auto insurance companies give back up to $50 for buying your policy over the internet.
• Air Bag Discount – Options like air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can get savings up to 30%.

Discounts save money, but please remember that many deductions do not apply to the entire policy premium. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. So when the math indicates you would end up receiving a 100% discount, company stockholders wouldn’t be very happy.

Special considerations

When it comes to choosing coverage for your vehicles, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s needs are different.

These are some specific questions can aid in determining if your insurance needs may require specific advice.

• I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
• How much can I save by bundling my policies?
• Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
• Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
• Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• When would I need additional glass coverage?
• Can I make deliveries for my home business?
• Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?
• Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?

What affects Audi S7 insurance prices?

Consumers need to have an understanding of some of the elements that are used to determine your premiums. If you understand what impacts premium levels, this allows you to make educated decisions that could result in cheaper rates.

• Save by driving less – The higher the mileage driven in a year the more you’ll pay to insure your vehicle. Most companies calculate rates based upon how the vehicle is primarily used. Vehicles used primarily for pleasure use cost less to insure compared to those used for work or business. Ask your agent if your insurance declarations sheet states the right rating data. A policy that improperly rates your S7 may be costing you.
• Never have insurance lapses – Having an insurance coverage lapse can be a sure-fire way to trigger a rate increase. Not only will you pay higher rates, being ticketed for driving with no insurance can result in a steep fine or even jail time. You may then be required to submit proof of financial responsibility or a SR-22 with your state motor vehicle department.
• Rural vs Urban Areas – Residing in small towns and rural areas may provide you with better prices when buying insurance. Residents of big cities have more traffic problems and much longer commute distances. Fewer drivers means reduced accidents.
• Tickets mean higher costs – Good drivers get better rates than their less careful counterparts. Getting just one chargable violation can boost insurance rates twenty percent or more. People who have careless citations such as reckless driving, hit and run or driving under the influence are required to complete a SR-22 with their state in order to prevent their license from being revoked.
• Cars with good safety ratings mean better rates – Vehicles with good safety scores tend to have lower insurance rates. Vehicles built for safety have better occupant injury protection and lower injury rates translates into savings for insurance companies and more competitive rates for policyholders.

Car insurance coverage basics

Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things like crashing into a building, driving through your garage door and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as falling objects, hitting a bird and damage from getting keyed. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Liability coverages

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for claims such as court costs, attorney fees, pain and suffering, loss of income and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 2013 Audi S7.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like chiropractic care, pain medications and funeral costs. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Feed the piggy bank

Lower-priced auto insurance can be purchased online and also from your neighborhood agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies do not provide rates over the internet and many times these regional insurance providers work with independent agencies.

Consumers who switch companies do it for many reasons like questionable increases in premium, denial of a claim, high prices or even poor customer service. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new company can be easy and end up saving you some money.

We just showed you quite a bit of information on how to shop for 2013 Audi S7 insurance online. The key thing to remember is the more quotes you get, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. You may be surprised to find that the most savings is with the smaller companies.
