How much is insurance?

Comparing insurance rates can be exhausting if you aren’t aware of the easiest way. You can waste a lot of time discussing policy coverages with local insurance agents in your area, or you can stay home and use the internet for quick rates.

Most major companies take part in a program where insurance shoppers submit one quote, and each participating company returns a rated price for coverage. This eliminates the need for quote requests to every company.

The single downside to using this type of form is you cannot specify the insurers to get pricing from. If you prefer to choose specific providers to compare rates, we have a listing of companies who write insurance in your area. Click here to view list.

Take whichever approach you prefer, but be certain you are entering the same deductibles and coverage limits for every company. If you use different values for each quote you will not be able to make a fair rate comparison. Even a minor difference in coverage limits could mean much higher rates. And when comparing insurance rates, know that comparing more quotes will enable you to find a lower rate. Some companies don’t provide price estimates online, so it’s important to also get price quotes on coverage from those companies, too.

Get lower-cost insurance coverage rates with discounts

Car insurance can cost a lot, but there are discounts available that you may not know about. Many discounts should be triggered when you get a quote, but a few must be asked about in order for you to get them.

• Accident Waiver – This isn’t a discount exactly, but a handful of insurance companies will forgive one accident without getting socked with a rate hike so long as you are claim-free prior to being involved in the accident.
• Safety Restraint Discount – Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to use a seat belt could save 15% off the medical payments premium.
• Membership in Organizations – Being a member of a civic or occupational organization could earn you a nice discount on your bill.
• Safe Driver Discount – Drivers who avoid accidents can save up to 40% or more on their insurance quote for A8 insurance than drivers with accidents.
• Employee of Federal Government – Federal government employees could provide a small rate reduction for A8 insurance with certain companies.
• Anti-theft System – Cars equipped with tracking devices and advanced anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and earn discounts up to 10% off your insurance quote.
• Own a Home and Save – Owning a home can get you a discount because maintaining a house means you have a higher level of financial diligence.
• E-sign Discounts – A few larger online companies will give a small break for signing up on the web.
• Life Insurance – If the company offers life insurance, you could get a lower insurance coverage rate if you buy life insurance.
• Discount for Passive Restraints – Factory options such as air bags or motorized seat belts may qualify for discounts of up to 25% or more.

You should keep in mind that most credits do not apply the the whole policy. Some only reduce specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. Despite the appearance that all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies don’t profit that way.

Some of the larger companies who might offer some of the discounts shown above include:

• Geico
• SAFECO
• State Farm
• MetLife
• 21st Century
• Progressive

If you need lower rates, check with every prospective company the best way to save money. A few discounts may not be available in your area. To locate insurers with significant discounts, click here to view.

Tailor your auto insurance coverage to you

When it comes to choosing coverage, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining whether you may require specific advice.

• Am I covered by my employer’s commercial auto policy when driving my personal car for business?
• What is roadside assistance coverage?
• Can I rent a car in Mexico?
• Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
• What if I total my 2018 Audi A8 and owe more than it’s worth?
• Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
• Do I need an umbrella policy?
• Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?

If you can’t answer these questions, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form.

The coverage is in the details

Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as theft, hitting a deer, damage from getting keyed, fire damage and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical expense insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses like nursing services, rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits and X-ray expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability auto insurance

This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for claims like legal defense fees, medical expenses, structural damage and court costs. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but buy as much as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your A8 resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car, driving through your garage door and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Audi A8.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Usually these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
