Buying car insurance is not something people appreciate, but regardless it’s required when you drive.
It is always a good idea to do rate comparisons every six months since insurance rates change frequently.

Having a good grasp of insurance can be of help when determining the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Audi RS 7.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Comprehensive auto coverage – This pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like hitting a deer, vandalism, damage from flooding and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Medical payments and PIP coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills for ambulance fees, pain medications, hospital visits, dental work and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Coverage for liability – Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability coverage protects against things like attorney fees, emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects, bail bonds and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Collision coverages – This coverage pays for damage to your RS 7 from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for claims like rolling your car, backing into a parked car, crashing into a building, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
