Lots of discounts mean lots of savings

  • Life Insurance – Some companies give better rates if you take out a life insurance policy as well.
  • Drivers Education – Make teen driver coverage more affordable by requiring them to successfully complete driver’s ed class if offered at their school.
  • Federal Employees – Active or retired federal employment can save as much as 8% for A3 coverage depending on your company.
  • No Accidents – Claim-free drivers can earn big discounts as compared to bad drivers.
  • Bundle and Save – When you have multiple policies with one insurance company you could get a discount of approximately 10% to 15%.

Situations that might require an agent

  • Is motorclub coverage worth it?
  • Will I lose any money if I cancel my policy before it expires?

Save $444 a year? Really?

Car insurance companies such as State Farm and Allstate constantly bombard you with ads on TV and radio. They all seem to make an identical promise about savings if you switch to their company. How does each company make the same claim? It’s all in the numbers.

Different companies have a certain “appetite” for the right customer that makes them money. An example of a driver they prefer might be over the age of 40, owns a home, and has a high credit rating. Any new insured that hits that “sweet spot” will get very good rates and therefore will save quite a bit of money when switching.

Drivers who don’t qualify for this ideal profile will be quoted higher prices and this can result in business going elsewhere. The ads state “customers that switch” not “people who quote” save that kind of money. That’s the way companies can advertise the savings. This emphasizes why drivers must get as many quotes as possible. Because you never know the company that will give you the biggest savings on Audi A3 insurance.

Specific coverages for a 2015 Audi A3

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the usual coverages found on most car insurance policies.

Liability coverages

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability can pay for things like emergency aid, loss of income, bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects and funeral expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Medical expense coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as pain medications, ambulance fees, hospital visits and prosthetic devices. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your A3 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Audi A3.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Save for a rainy day

Cheaper 2015 Audi A3 insurance can be bought online and with local insurance agents, and you should be comparing both so you have a total pricing picture. Some companies do not offer online price quotes and these regional insurance providers work with independent agents.

As you restructure your insurance plan, never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are many occasions where an accident victim reduced uninsured motorist or liability limits and discovered at claim time that it was a big error on their part. Your focus should be to get the best coverage possible at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.
