Which Insurance Coverage is Cheapest?

Car insurance coverages for a 2008 Audi S6

Having a good grasp of your policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Collision protection

This coverage covers damage to your S6 resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like backing into a parked car, sustaining damage from a pot hole, rolling your car, colliding with a tree and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed, damage from flooding, fire damage and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. Liability 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. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers things such as structural damage, bail bonds, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 2008 Audi S6.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Frequently these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like ambulance fees, X-ray expenses, surgery and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

One last thing about your coverage

Cheap 2008 Audi S6 insurance can be sourced from both online companies in addition to many insurance agents, and you need to price shop both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance providers do not provide the ability to get a quote online and usually these small insurance companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

We’ve covered many ways to shop for insurance online. The key concept to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the better chance you’ll have of finding lower rates. You may be surprised to find that the most savings is with the smaller companies.

While you’re price shopping online, don’t be tempted to buy poor coverage just to save money. There have been many situations where someone dropped uninsured motorist or liability limits and learned later that they should have had better coverage. The ultimate goal is to buy enough coverage at a price you can afford while not skimping on critical coverages.
