Searching for lower insurance coverage rates for your Audi TT? Did you fall for a flashy sales pitch and buy overpriced insurance coverage? Believe me, you’re not the only one.
Since consumers have many different company options, it can be hard to find the cheapest car insurance company.
Most major insurance companies allow you to get price estimates directly from their websites. The process is fairly simple as you just type in your coverage preferences into a form. Upon sending the form, their system collects credit information and your driving record and returns a price quote. Online quotes makes comparing rates easy, but having to visit many different websites and type in the same information gets old quite quickly. Unfortunately, it is important to perform this step in order to get the lowest price.
A more efficient way to find lower prices uses one form to return rates from a bunch of companies at once. It’s a real time-saver, reduces the work, and makes comparison shopping much more enjoyable and efficient. After sending your information, your coverage is rated and you can select any or none of the quotes returned.
If a lower price is quoted, you simply finish the application and purchase the new policy. This process only takes a few minutes and could lower your rates considerably.

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the usual coverages available from car insurance companies.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Audi TT.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive insurance
This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as a broken windshield, vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, rock chips in glass and damage from getting keyed. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Collision protection
This will pay to fix damage to your TT caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for claims like driving through your garage door, hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch, colliding with a tree and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses for nursing services, ambulance fees and X-ray expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability car insurance
Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers things such as court costs, attorney fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.
