Looking for better car insurance rates for your Audi S4? Trying to come up with a payment for high-priced car insurance can diminish your budget and force you to prioritize other expenses.

Vehicle owners have multiple auto insurance companies to pick from, and though it is a good thing to have a choice, more options can take longer to locate the cheapest rates.

Choosing the best insurance company for you is not rocket science. If you are paying for car insurance now, you should be able to save some money using these tips. But consumers should learn how the larger insurance companies determine prices and apply this information to your search.

Shop auto insurance online

There are a variety of methods to compare auto insurance quotes, but there is one way that is more efficient than others. You could spend your day talking about coverages with agents in your area, or you can stay home and use online quotes for quick rates.

Many insurance companies enroll in a system where insurance shoppers complete one form, and every company returns a competitive quote based on that data. This system prevents you from having to do quote requests to each individual auto insurance company.

The one disadvantage to using this type of form is you can’t choose which companies to get quotes from. So if you prefer to choose specific insurance companies for rate comparison, we put together a list of low cost auto insurance companies in your area. Click to view list.

However you get your quotes, try to keep apples-to-apples quote information with every price quote. If you compare different limits and deductibles on each one then you won’t be able to make a fair comparison for your Audi S4. Slightly different limits could mean much higher rates. Keep in mind that comparing all the rates in your area helps you find lower pricing.

Car insurance advertising gotchas

Car insurance companies such as State Farm, Geico and Progressive endlessly run television and radio advertisements. All the ads advertise claims that drivers will save a bundle if you just switch your policy. Is it even possible that every company can lower your rates? Just pay attention to how they say it.

Car insurance companies offer their best rates for the driver that will most likely be profitable. For instance, a desirable insured could possibly be between the ages of 30 and 50, owns a home, and insures a new vehicle. Anybody who meets those qualifications will most likely get cheap auto insurance rates as well as save quite a bit of money when switching.

Insureds who do not meet the “perfect” profile will probably have to pay a more expensive rate with the end result being the customer buying from someone else. If you pay attention, the ads say “customers that switch” not “everybody who quotes” can get the lowest rates when switching. This is how companies can truthfully lure you into getting a quote. Because of this risk profiling, drivers should compare many company’s prices. It is impossible to guess which company will have the lowest rate quotes.

Do you qualify for discount auto insurance?

Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but you can get discounts that can drop the cost substantially. Certain reductions will be credited when you get a quote, but a few need to be asked about before they will apply.

  • Senior Discount – If you qualify as a senior citizen, you could receive a small discount on rates for S4 insurance.
  • New Vehicle Savings – Buying insurance coverage on a new vehicle can get you a discount compared to insuring an older model.
  • Full Payment Discount – If you pay your entire premium ahead of time as opposed to paying monthly you could save up to 5%.
  • Safety Restraint Discount – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to use a seat belt can save up to 15% off PIP or medical payments premium.
  • Anti-lock Brake Discount – Cars and trucks with ABS and/or traction control can reduce accidents so you can save 10 percent or more.
  • Multiple Cars – Buying a policy with several vehicles on a single policy can reduce the rates for all insured vehicles.

As a footnote on discounts, some of the credits will not apply to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as comprehensive or collision. So when the math indicates it’s possible to get free car insurance, it just doesn’t work that way.

Auto insurance companies who might offer these discounts may include but are not limited to:

Double check with every insurance company which discounts they offer. Some of the earlier mentioned discounts might not be offered in every state. If you would like to choose from a list of companies offering auto insurance discounts, click here to view.

What insurance coverages do I need?

When it comes to buying coverage, there is no cookie cutter policy. Each situation is unique so your insurance needs to address that. Here are some questions about coverages that might point out whether your personal situation could use an agent’s help.

  • Does my 2018 Audi S4 need full coverage?
  • Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
  • What is UM/UIM insurance?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
  • What is the minimum liability in my state?
  • How can I force my company to pay a claim?
  • How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
  • When would I need additional glass coverage?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Auto insurance coverage specifics

Knowing the specifics of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are the usual coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like rock chips in glass, falling objects, damage from getting keyed and theft. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverage – This coverage covers damage to your S4 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things like colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car, driving through your garage door and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses such as pain medications, dental work, chiropractic care, EMT expenses and doctor visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Liability insurance – This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability insurance covers claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, funeral expenses, loss of income and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Don’t break the bank

While you’re price shopping online, never reduce coverage to reduce premium. Too many times, drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage to discover at claim time they didn’t have enough coverage. Your focus should be to buy the best coverage you can find at the lowest possible cost and still be able to protect your assets.

Cheaper insurance can be sourced online in addition to many insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both in order to have the best chance of saving money. A few companies don’t offer internet price quotes and most of the time these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through independent insurance agencies.
