Save $453 a year. For real?

Insurance providers like Allstate, Geico and Progressive continually stream television and radio advertisements. They all say the same thing about savings after switching to them. How does each company claim to save you money? This is how they do it.

All companies have a preferred profile for the type of customer that is profitable for them. An example of a preferred risk might be profiled as a mature driver, is a homeowner, and has great credit. A propective insured who meets those qualifications will qualify for the lowest rates and most likely will save when they switch companies.

The ad wording is “customers that switch” not “people who quote” save that much money. That’s the way companies can truthfully make those claims. That is why you need to get quotes from several different companies. It’s just too difficult to predict which insurance company will give you the biggest savings on Audi A6 insurance.

Pay less by taking advantage of these nine discounts

Companies offering auto insurance don’t necessarily list all available discounts in an easy-to-find place, so here is a list some of the more common and the harder-to-find insurance coverage savings.

  • Early Signing – Some companies give discounts for signing up prior to your current policy expiration. This can save 10% or more.
  • Safe Drivers – Safe drivers may save up to 50% more for A6 coverage than less cautious drivers.
  • Drivers Education – Require your teen driver to complete a driver education course if offered at their school.
  • Seat Belts Save more than Lives – Drivers who require all occupants to use their safety belts can save up to 15% off your medical payments premium.
  • Multi-car Discount – Insuring more than one vehicle with the same company may reduce the rate for each vehicle.
  • Low Mileage – Fewer annual miles on your Audi could qualify for lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.

Insurance coverages 101

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverages found on most insurance policies.

Coverage for liability – This can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers claims like emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects, medical services and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Audi A6.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Collision coverage – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things such as rolling your car, hitting a mailbox and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, chiropractic care and EMT expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as theft, damage from getting keyed and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

A tidy conclusion

As you prepare to switch companies, it’s not a good idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. In many cases, an insured cut liability limits or collision coverage only to discover later they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your goal should be to buy enough coverage for the lowest price.

Lower-priced 2004 Audi A6 insurance is attainable both online and with local insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance companies do not offer the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.
