2013 Volkswagen Tiguan Insurance Quotes

Searching for cheaper insurance for a new or used Volkswagen Tiguan can be a lot of work, but you can follow these tips to make it easier. There is a right way and a wrong way to find insurance online so we’re going to tell you the absolute fastest way to quote coverages for a Volkswagen and locate the cheapest rates.

Insurance Comparisons

Getting a cheaper price on 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan insurance isn’t really that difficult. All you need to do is take a couple of minutes to compare rate quotes provided by online insurance companies. This can be accomplished in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

  • The single most time-saving way to compare a lot of rates at once would be an industry-wide quote request form (click to open form in new window). This easy form saves time by eliminating separate quotes to each individual insurance company. In just a few minutes this one form compares rates from insurance companies with the best prices. It’s definitely the quickest method.
  • A less efficient way to compare prices is going to the website of each company and complete a new quote form. For examples sake, let’s say you want rates from Liberty Mutual, Esurance and Progressive. To get rate quotes you would need to visit each site to enter your coverage information, which is why most consumers use the first method.

However you get your quotes, double check that you are using the exact same coverage information on every quote. If the quotes have different liability limits then you won’t be able to determine which rate is truly the best.

Take advantage of discounts

Companies that sell car insurance don’t always advertise all available discounts very well, so we took the time to find some of the best known and the more hidden ways to save on auto insurance. If you don’t get every credit possible, you are paying more than you should be.

  • Anti-lock Brake System – Anti-lock brake equipped vehicles can reduce accidents and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
  • Student in College – Children who are attending college without a vehicle on campus can receive lower rates.
  • Safe Driver Discount – Drivers who avoid accidents can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates for Tiguan insurance than drivers with accident claims.
  • Good Student – Getting good grades can save 20 to 25%. The good student discount can last up to age 25.
  • Memberships – Belonging to a civic or occupational organization may earn a discount when shopping for auto insurance for Tiguan insurance.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given to the overall cost of the policy. A few only apply to specific coverage prices like comp or med pay. So despite the fact that it appears all those discounts means the company will pay you, it just doesn’t work that way.

Car insurance companies that may offer these discounts are:

Double check with every prospective company which discounts you may be entitled to. Some discounts might not be offered in every state.

Car insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Car insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Liability car insurance – Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical expenses, loss of income and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Volkswagen Tiguan.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This will pay to fix 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 insurance covers things such as fire damage, hitting a deer, theft and hail damage. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits, X-ray expenses and prosthetic devices. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Collision coverages – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Tiguan resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims such as damaging your car on a curb, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a ditch. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Spend less. Save more.

We covered some good ideas how you can reduce 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan insurance prices online. The most important thing to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the better your comparison will be. Consumers may even find the most savings is with the smaller companies.

Drivers change insurance companies for any number of reasons including policy cancellation, poor customer service, high rates after DUI convictions and even denial of a claim. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new company is not as difficult as it may seem.

Budget-conscious insurance can be bought on the web in addition to many insurance agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best selection. Some insurance providers do not provide online price quotes and these regional insurance providers work with independent agents.
