2009 Audi Q7 Insurance Quotes – 7 Ideas for Best Rates

Buyers have many options when searching for the best price on Audi Q7 insurance. They can either spend hours contacting agents to get rate comparisons or utilize the internet to find the lowest rates. There is a better way to find auto insurance online so we’re going to tell you the quickest way to quote coverages for your Audi and obtain the lowest price from local insurance agents and online providers.

It’s a good idea to do rate comparisons once or twice a year because insurance rates are rarely the same from one policy term to another. If you had the lowest rates for Q7 coverage two years ago there is a good chance you can find better rates now. So just forget all the misinformation about auto insurance because we’re going to show you how to use the internet to lower your annual insurance bill.

How to Get Insurance

Finding cheaper 2009 Audi Q7 insurance prices can be surprisingly simple. All you need to do is invest a few minutes comparing rates online with multiple companies. This is very easy and can be done in just a few minutes using one of these methods.

  1. The recommended way to find the lowest comparison rates would be an industry-wide quote request form (click to open form in new window). This method prevents you from having to do a different quote for each company. Just one form gets you price quotes from multiple companies. Just one form and you’re done.
  2. A harder way to find lower rates consists of going to each company website and complete a new quote form. For examples sake, we’ll pretend you want rates from Nationwide, Allstate and Geico. To get rate quotes you would need to go to every website to enter your coverage information, which is why most consumers use the first method.

  3. The most time-consuming way of comparing rate quotes is driving around to different agent offices. The internet makes this process obsolete unless you prefer the professional advice of a local agent. It is possible to price shop your coverage online and still use a local agent.

It’s up to you which method you use, but be sure to compare identical coverage limits and deductibles with every price quote. If you compare differing limits it’s impossible to find the best deal for your Audi Q7.

These seven discounts can lower your rates

Companies don’t always advertise all their discounts very clearly, so here is a list both well-publicized as well as the least known discounts you could be receiving. If you’re not getting every credit you qualify for, you’re just leaving money on the table.

  • Own a Home – Owning a house can help you save on insurance coverage due to the fact that maintaining a home is proof that your finances are in order.
  • One Accident Forgiven – Certain companies allow you one accident before raising your premiums if your claims history is clear for a particular time prior to the accident.
  • Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Vehicles with factory air bags or automatic seat belts can get savings of 20% or more.
  • Bundle and Save – When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same insurance company you may earn at least 10% off all policies.
  • Good Student Discount – A discount for being a good student can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. This discount can apply up to age 25.
  • Multiple Vehicles – Buying insurance for multiple vehicles with the same company could earn a price break for each car.
  • New Car Discount – Insuring a new car can be considerably cheaper due to better safety requirements for new cars.

Consumers should know that most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut specific coverage prices like liability and collision coverage. Just because you may think you can get free auto insurance, you’re out of luck.

Companies who might offer these benefits include:

It’s a good idea to ask every prospective company how you can save money. Savings might not apply in every state.

Car insurance 101

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for things like X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices, chiropractic care, EMT expenses and surgery. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as falling objects, fire damage and rock chips in glass. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability coverage pays for claims like emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects, structural damage and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

This coverage pays for damage to your Q7 resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as rolling your car, driving through your garage door, damaging your car on a curb and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
