How to Compare Insurance

Reducing your 2010 Audi A8 insurance rates can be quick and easy. The only requirement is to invest a little time to get quotes from different insurance companies. This can be done in a couple of different ways.

  • The most efficient way to get quotes would be an industry-wide quote request form click here to open form in new window. This type of form keeps you from doing boring form submissions for every insurance company. Filling out one form will get you price quotes from multiple companies. It’s the fastest way to compare.
  • A less efficient way to compare rate quotes requires a trip to each individual company website and fill out their own quote form. For examples sake, we’ll pretend you want to compare Allstate, Liberty Mutual and American Family. To find out each rate you need to visit each site and enter your information, which is why most consumers use the first method.

  • The least efficient method to compare rates is to waste gas driving to local insurance agencies. Buying insurance online eliminates the need for an insurance agent unless you prefer the trained guidance only provided by licensed agents. You can, however, get the lowest quotes online but buy from a local insurance agent and we’ll cover that in a bit.

Whichever way you use, make sure you use identical coverage information for each comparison quote. If the quotes have different liability limits you can’t possibly determine which rate is truly the best.

Discounts can save BIG

Car insurance companies don’t necessarily list every discount very clearly, so we took the time to find both well-publicized and the more hidden discounts you could be receiving. If you’re not getting every credit you deserve, you’re just leaving money on the table.

  • Military Rewards – Being deployed with a military unit could mean lower rates.
  • Discounts for Safe Drivers – Insureds without accidents may save up to 50% more for A8 coverage than drivers with accident claims.
  • Anti-theft System – Anti-theft and alarm systems can help prevent theft and will save you 10% or more.
  • College Student – Kids in college living away from home attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle may qualify for this discount.
  • One Accident Forgiven – A handful of insurance companies will forgive one accident without raising rates if you are claim-free prior to the accident.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount – Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems can avoid accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Discount for Life Insurance – Larger companies have a discount if you purchase life insurance from them.
  • New Vehicle Savings – Buying coverage on a new vehicle can be considerably cheaper because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • Government Employees – Employees or retirees of the government can earn a discount up to 10% for A8 coverage depending on your company.
  • Low Mileage – Driving fewer miles can earn discounted rates on garaged vehicles.

Consumers should know that some of the credits will not apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like liability, collision or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies don’t profit that way.

  • Where can I find DUI or SR-22 insurance?
  • If I drive on a suspended license am I covered?
  • Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
  • Is my trailer covered?

Learn about auto insurance coverages for an Audi A8

Having a good grasp of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2010 Audi A8.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like prosthetic devices, surgery and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability coverages – Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against things like structural damage, legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and court costs. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as crashing into a ditch, hitting a parking meter and hitting a mailbox. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. 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 a broken windshield, theft and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

More quotes. Lower rates.

While you’re price shopping online, never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There have been many cases where someone dropped full coverage only to regret that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. The ultimate goal is to get the best coverage possible at an affordable rate while still protecting your assets.

Consumers leave their current company for many reasons like delays in paying claims, questionable increases in premium, high prices or lack of trust in their agent. Regardless of your reason, finding a new insurance company can be less work than you think.

We’ve covered a lot of ways to save on 2010 Audi A8 insurance. The key concept to understand is the more providers you compare, the higher the chance of saving money. You may even find the lowest rates come from some of the lesser-known companies.
