Want cheaper insurance rates for your Audi A3? Trying to find cheaper insurance for an Audi A3 can normally be a painful process, but you can follow a few tricks and make it easy.
There is a right way and a wrong way to find insurance online and you need to know the proper way to quote coverages for a new or used Audi and get the best price possible.
It is always a good idea to price shop coverage occasionally because prices change quite often. Just because you found the lowest price on A3 insurance a few years ago you may be paying too much now. Forget all the misinformation about insurance because we’re going to demonstrate the easiest way to get good coverage at a lower rate.
The cost of insuring your cars can be expensive, but you may find discounts that you may not even be aware of. A few discounts will automatically apply at the time of quoting, but a few must be manually applied before being credited. If you aren’t receiving every discount possible, you are throwing money away.
A little note about advertised discounts, many deductions do not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only reduce specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears you could get a free car insurance policy, companies don’t profit that way. Any qualifying discounts will help reduce your premiums.

Knowing the specifics of a car insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Car insurance terms can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills for things like funeral costs, chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses and X-ray expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Liability coverage – Liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover 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 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage protects against claims like legal defense fees, loss of income, pain and suffering and emergency aid. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like theft, hitting a bird, falling objects and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Collision coverages – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your A3 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 insurance covers claims like crashing into a building, driving through your garage door, colliding with a tree, backing into a parked car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Usually these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Discount 2007 Audi A3 insurance is available both online as well as from independent agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best selection. Some insurance companies don’t offer you the ability to get quotes online and many times these small insurance companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
As you restructure your insurance plan, do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. In too many instances, an insured dropped liability limits or collision coverage and discovered at claim time that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your strategy should be to get the best coverage possible at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.
Insureds leave their current company for a number of reasons such as questionable increases in premium, not issuing a premium refund, denial of a claim and high prices. It doesn’t matter what your reason, finding a new insurance company is not as difficult as it may seem.
