You can find a lot of misleading information regarding insurance coverage on the web, but I’m going to show you some guaranteed methods to save money.

Lesser-known factors impacting Audi allroad quattro insurance rates

An important part of buying insurance is that you know the different types of things that come into play when calculating the price you pay for insurance. Understanding what impacts premium levels allows you to make educated decisions that can help you get much lower annual insurance costs.

The list below includes some of the items companies use to determine your rates.

  • Theft deterrents lower rates – Choosing a vehicle with a theft deterrent system can help bring down rates. Anti-theft features like vehicle immobilizer systems, General Motors OnStar and LoJack tracking systems can thwart your car from being stolen.
  • Women pay lower rates – The statistics show that men are more aggressive behind the wheel. That doesn’t necessarily mean that men are WORSE drivers than women. Men and women tend to get into accidents at about the same rate, but men cause more damage. Men also have more aggressive citations such as reckless driving. Teenage male drivers tend to get in the most accidents and thus pay the highest rates.
  • Where you live can impact rates – Residing in a rural area is a positive aspect when talking about insurance. Lower population means a lower chance of having an accident and also fewer theft and vandalism claims. City drivers have more traffic problems and much longer commute distances. More time commuting can result in more accidents.
  • A clean driving record saves money – Whether or not you get tickets has a lot to do with how much you pay for insurance. Good drivers have lower premiums than people who have multiple driving citations. Even one moving violation can increase rates forty percent or more. Drivers with severe tickets such as DWI, reckless driving or hit and run convictions are required to submit a SR-22 or proof of financial responsibility with their state motor vehicle department in order to drive a vehicle legally.
  • Do you need the policy add-ons? – There are a ton of extra coverages that you can buy if you aren’t careful. Coverages for vanishing deductibles, towing coverage and motor club memberships may be costing you every month. These coverages may sound good when you first buy your policy, but if you don’t need them eliminate them to save money.

Don’t pay full price with these discounts

Properly insuring your vehicles can get expensive, but there are discounts available that you may not even be aware of. A few discounts will automatically apply when you get a quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be manually applied before they will apply.

  • Multi-policy Discount – If you have multiple policies with the same company you will save approximately 10% to 15%.
  • Anti-lock Brakes – Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems prevent accidents and will save you 10% or more.
  • Good Student – Getting good grades can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. This discount can apply well after school through age 25.
  • Accident Free – Good drivers with no accidents can earn big discounts as compared to bad drivers.
  • New Vehicle Savings – Insuring a new car is cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Multi-car Discount – Buying insurance for more than one vehicle on the same auto insurance policy may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Student Driver Training – Have your child enroll in driver’s education if it’s offered in school.
  • Student in College – Any of your kids living away from home attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle may qualify for this discount.

It’s important to understand that most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. Even though it may seem like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, it doesn’t quite work that way. But any discount will bring down your premiums.

Your personal situation dictates your coverage

When buying the best auto insurance coverage for your vehicles, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different so your insurance needs to address that. These are some specific questions might help in determining if your situation might need professional guidance.

  • Why is insurance for a teen driver so high?
  • Am I covered if I hit a deer?
  • Who is covered when they drive my 2003 Audi allroad quattro?
  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
  • How much liability insurance is required?
  • Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
  • Am I getting all the discounts available?
  • Should I have a commercial auto policy?

If you can’t answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the normal coverages offered by insurance companies.

Coverage for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses for X-ray expenses, dental work and surgery. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision protection

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like colliding with a tree, rolling your car, hitting a parking meter, driving through your garage door and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability insurance

This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

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. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is 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 attorney fees, pain and suffering and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your 2003 Audi allroad quattro.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as hail damage, damage from flooding and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

A tidy conclusion

While you’re price shopping online, it’s very important that you do not buy poor coverage just to save money. In many instances, an insured cut liability coverage limits and found out when filing a claim that they should have had better coverage. The proper strategy is to buy the best coverage you can find at the best price while still protecting your assets.

Cheaper 2003 Audi allroad quattro insurance can be purchased both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to price shop both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some insurance companies may not provide online price quotes and usually these small insurance companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.
