Lower Your 1991 Audi 200 Car Insurance Quotes

Trying to find the cheapest auto insurance rates for your Audi 200? Are you sick and tired of robbing Peter to pay Paul to pay your car insurance bill each month? You are in the same boat as many other consumers. Companies like State Farm, Farmers Insurance, Geico and Allstate increase brand awareness with TV and radio ads and consumers find it hard to not get sucked in by the cute commercials and effectively compare rates to find the best deal.

Audi 200 insurance rates consist of many parts

Consumers need to have an understanding of the factors that help determine auto insurance rates. Understanding what determines base rates allows you to make educated decisions that may reward you with big savings.

The following are a partial list of the pieces companies use to determine rates.

  • Discounts for married couples – Having a spouse actually saves money when buying auto insurance. Having a spouse usually means you are more mature than a single person and it’s statistically proven that drivers who are married are more cautious.
  • Don’t buy coverages you don’t need – There are quite a few extra bells and whistles that you can get tricked into buying if you aren’t careful. Coverages like rental car reimbursement, accidental death and additional equipment coverage are examples of these. These coverages may sound good when you first buy your policy, but now you might not need them so get rid of them and save.
  • How credit affects auto insurance rates – A driver’s credit score is a large factor in determining what you pay for auto insurance. If your credit rating is lower than you’d like, you could potentially save money when insuring your 1991 Audi 200 by repairing your credit. Drivers who have excellent credit tend to be better drivers and file fewer claims than drivers who have poor credit.
  • How’s your driving record? – Whether or not you get tickets has a lot to do with how much you pay for insurance. Only having one moving violation can bump up the cost twenty percent or more. Drivers who don’t get tickets get better rates than people who have multiple driving citations. Drivers with severe tickets like DUI or reckless driving are required to file a proof of financial responsibility form (SR-22) with their state DMV in order to drive a vehicle legally.
  • Optional equipment can affect rates – Owning a car that has an advanced theft prevention system can save you a little every year. Theft prevention features like vehicle immobilizer systems, General Motors OnStar and LoJack tracking systems can help prevent car theft.

Don’t overlook these discounts

Auto insurance companies don’t always publicize all available discounts very clearly, so we break down some of the more common and also the lesser-known car insurance savings. If you’re not getting every credit possible, you are throwing money away.

  • Fewer Miles Equal More Savings – Low mileage vehicles can qualify you for a substantially lower rate.
  • Anti-theft System – Vehicles with anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.
  • Homeowners Discount – Owning a home may trigger a car insurance policy discount because of the fact that having a home requires personal responsibility.
  • Multi-policy Discount – When you have multiple policies with one insurance company you could get a discount of 10% to 20% off each policy.
  • Service Members Pay Less – Having a deployed family member could mean lower rates.

Drivers should understand that some credits don’t apply to the entire cost. Most only apply to individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. So even though it sounds like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won’t be that lucky.

Car insurance coverage information

Having a good grasp of insurance helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on most insurance policies.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from getting keyed, falling objects and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Audi 200.

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 is important protection for you and your family.

Liability coverages – This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: 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 limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage protects against things such as bail bonds, court costs, loss of income and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your 200 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like colliding with a tree, sideswiping another vehicle and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses such as chiropractic care, surgery, prosthetic devices, rehabilitation expenses and ambulance fees. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
